【Note】
Finca Santuario was designed and founded as an sustainable coffee farm to resurrect old Columbia mild coffee in 1999. The estate is surrounded by a wild forest, tall trees, which provide desirable shade for coffee trees. Coffee trees are planted about 70 percent of the estate. The owner, Camilo Merizalde, changed his carrier from a successful businessman to a coffee farmer. He cultivate the land own by his wife's family and named "Santuario", which means sanctuary or shrine.
Thanks for altitude, no pesticide needed to manage trees. Instead of using chemical fertilizers, they decided to use organic manures and Tephrosia, plant in pea family, to manage soil condition.
