Colombia, Yeferson Olaya

Yeferson Olaya Prieto is proud to be part of the third generation of coffee growers in his family.

He grew up on the El Tesoro farm surrounded by the entire coffee-growing culture with traditional techniques. At 18, a new era begins for him when a cupping company arrives in town, thus opening a path to new opportunities. In this way, Yeferson chooses to evolve in the field, training himself in cupping and coffee processes, at the same time he was experimenting on the same farm as his father.

In 2020, he founded his own company with the help of his family where the purpose would be to dedicate himself fully to the production of organic coffee and varietals, taking the subject of coffee to another level. Little by little, the company’s farms begin to have varietal trees such as: geisha, pink bourbon, tabi, improved typical, wush wush, chirroso caturra and java, as well as a large amount of conventional coffee such as caturra, Colombian and castle.

At that moment, the need arises to create its own physical-sensory analysis laboratory, with the purpose of guaranteeing the traceability of each batch of coffee that is commercialised farming It would also be the most effective tool to give credibility to its accompaniment in processes of other producers.

This is how Yeferson wants to ensure that his El Tesoro farm continues to produce different varietals of excellent quality, create good personal and commercial relationships, and pave the way for future generations in coffee.
