THE FARM - EL OBRAJE
Hacienda El Obraje, located in the mountains of Nariño, spans nearly 100 hectares, with coffee cultivated on 25 hectares and the rest preserved as a natural forest reserve by Pablo. The estate’s wet mill is equipped with fermentation tanks, depulping equipment, mechanical dryers, and raised beds under a solar dryer, ensuring immediate processing after harvest.
Obraje also has its own nursery, where seeds are planted in soil bags before being transplanted into the field. The farm uses a mixed fertilization approach, applying both organic and chemical fertilizers. The farm’s unique microclimate and volcanic, mineral-rich soil significantly influence the coffee’s flavor profile.
Despite irregular rainfall, water from the farm's retention pond is used for irrigation. The region’s wide temperature fluctuations—ranging from 32°C during the day to 8°C at night—affect the bean density and cause the trees to grow more compact than those in other regions of Colombia.
