Santa María Estate, high-quality coffee located in the Andes mountains

Coffee production on Armando Benavides' estate is characterized by sustainable agricultural practices that ensure soil fertility and plant health.

Armando Benavides' Geisha coffee from his farm in Buesaco, Nariño, Colombia, is special for its complex range of floral and fruity flavors, in addition to its smooth body and bright acidity. This variety has a history on his farm, introduced over a decade ago. It has been one of the varieties that requires the most care, as its productivity and resistance are not the best.

Between harvests, Armando focuses on the meticulous care of his coffee trees: pruning, fertilizing, and pest control, ensuring the health and productivity of the plants. During the harvest, which spans several weeks, the coffee is collected in multiple passes to ensure that only ripe beans are selected.

Die Plantage Santa Maria Farm

 Santa María Estate, high-quality coffee located in the Andes mountains, in Buesaco, Nariño.

For those who have never visited the estate, the path is unpaved and winds through the mountainous landscape near Buesaco. As one approaches, the panoramic views of mountains and valleys become increasingly impressive, with a lush green environment that signals the proximity to the estate. Originally owned by a retired airplane pilot who decided to sell it in the 1980s, Armando Benavides acquired the property and, together with his family, has cared for and cultivated the land since then. Initially dedicated to growing apples and other fruits, over 20 years ago, Armando decided to shift the estate's focus to coffee cultivation, while still preserving many native fruits and trees to maintain the estate's ecosystem.

Ein paar Worte zu Armando Benavides

Finca Santa Maria exists for more than 50 years. It was bought by Armando Benavides 30 years ago. In his farm, Armando works with his family. He is surrounded by Valeria, Magaly and Juan Pablo: his wife and children.

In 2013, the Benavides family was attacked by bandits who damaged the farm and stole the production. Thankfully, the damage was only material. However, the financial losses were significant as coffee was the family's only income, as it is for many in Colombia. With the help of friends, the family rebuilt the Finca. The following year, they were able to resume high quality production, which was awarded a score of 92 in Coffee Review. 

Today, Armando's family production is recognised in the area for its shade-grown, responsible farming practices that aim to reduce chemical intrants.
