When Purple Kaddura (Purple Caturra) was first found on his farm in Rodrigo S á nchez, there were only 26, accounting for only 0.13% of his 20000 coffee trees. Kaddura's unique variety produces purple tender leaves, unlike most coffee trees are green, and the flavor spectrum is quite different from other Kaddura, so he decided to plant more of this variety on his second experimental farm. The new experimental farm is called Finca El Progreso, and he has even developed a unique treatment for the variety to give the coffee the best flavor.

Rodrigo is a very special coffee farmer. He has been growing coffee for 15 years and manages two farms with his wife and daughter: Finca El Progreso and Monteblanco. In recent years, he has adopted a more innovative approach and made a transition to boutique coffee. He has sought help from exporters, agronomists and cup testers, and established close cooperation to improve the quality of coffee. Elkin Guzman from Pitalito taught him how to develop different treatments for different beans, while another cup tester, Wbeimar Lasso, also from Pitalito, let Rodrigo know what flavor potential his raw beans have.

There are more and more coffee farmers like Rodrigo. They carefully discover new varieties, experiment with new treatments, and humbly seek advice from different experts. Boutique coffee has great potential in their hands!
