Edward Montiel is a passionate coffee grower based in the Cajamarca region of Tolima, an area renowned for the exceptional quality of its coffees.
Working with the Arabica Caturra variety, Edward favors traditional and environmentally respectful methods, notably wet processing and drying under shelter (marquesina), to best preserve the grain’s organoleptic qualities.
His commitment is reflected in the consistency of his harvests and the quality of his beans, which have earned high scores during tastings. For Edward, coffee is more than just a crop: it’s a deep connection to his homeland, a passion passed down through generations. Through his work, he supports the local community and helps promote Tolima’s coffees on the international stage.
