Diego's father Teodolfo López grew up in Cauca in southwest Colombia where he learnt the foundations of agricultural life at an early age. Cauca is one of the departments that has been hardest hit by Colombia’s armed conflict and in 1998 Teodolfo and his wife moved to Hulia to buy their first lot and take their first steps in coffee. Teodolfo worked several jobs to save for his first lot and with the help of his family the first crops began to appear on his farm, Los Naranjos. After experimenting with coffee, Teodolfo’s passion grew and he began to plant more varietals, giving greater weight to processing.

Origins.
Colombia.

Colombia’s diverse terroir encompasses several coffee producing regions, each with its distinct microclimate and soil composition. Notable coffee regions include Huila, Nariño, Antioquia, and Cauca. These regions contribute to the wide range of flavors found in Colombian coffees.

Colombia cultivates different coffee varietals, such as Caturra, Castillo, Pink Bourbon, Typica, and Gesha to name a few. Coffee farms are often situated in the ideal altitude range of 1,200 to 1,800 MaSL, which provides coffee cherries with ample time to ripen, leading to well-balanced acidity and notable sweetness in the beans.
