Rob says: As this is our first colab with LEONID RAMIREZ we think it’s a perfect moment to tell his coffee journey.
When Leonid was 25 years old, he enquired about some land that was available to buy. Leonid visited the farm in Genova, Quindío, and fell in love. With his savings and the support of his family, he was able to purchase the farm. He started to renew the coffee trees and remove the eucalyptus that was planted because these trees are known to undermine the land.
Leonid’s journey in coffee was very challenging. Even though coffee production wasn’t very profitable in the beginning, he knew that coffee was the future for his family. So, he started to invest in better farming practices and work with Specialty Coffee. He started participating with his coffee in various coffee auctions where his coffee was always one of the favourites.
In 2016, Cofinet began a relationship with Leonid. Leonid is grateful for the guidance Cofinet has provided in the production of Specialty Coffee.
