PATIO BONITO SL28 ADVANCED

About This Coffee

Patio Bonito Farm is located in northern Cauca, Colombia. It’s a family-run farm with a rich history that began with Carlos Arturo Trujillo and is now carried forward by his daughter, Paola Trujillo. After spending many years working as a professional cupper, Paola returned to the farm in 2022 to work alongside her father, who has over 40 years of experience in coffee farming. She is deeply dedicated to coffee processing—especially clean washed and delicate natural methods—and has been experimenting with thermal shock and anaerobic fermentation techniques to enhance flavor and consistency. One of Patio Bonito’s strengths lies in its size and diversity. The farm spans several hectares with around 47,000 coffee trees across 13 varieties, including Castillo, Colombia, Pink Bourbon, Gesha, Typica, SL-28, Red Bourbon, Java, Bourbon Aji, Sidra, Pacamara, Laurina, and Wush Wush. The Trujillo family’s work is guided by passion, precision, and a strong sense of responsibility. Their operations are built on three core values: food security, soil conservation and management, and sustainable coffee cultivation. Their mission is “to provide alternatives and training to farmers and students on the management, conservation, and exploration of natural resources and the environment.” As the family beautifully puts it: “The best legacy we can leave to our children is love, knowledge, and a planet in which to live.”
