Meet your producer

Name Johan Vergara
Year Started 1990
Location San Isidro in Pitalito, Huila See on a map

Farm Las Flores, nestled in Cundinamarca, Colombia, was founded in 1990 by Edilberto Vergara and Nubia Ayure with a modest 2 hectares of coffee plants. By 1998, the farm had expanded to 16 hectares, growing alongside the family’s passion for coffee. As the next generation took the reins, Johan Vergara and his siblings, Carlos and Diego, deepened their expertise, introducing specialty varieties like Java, Pink Bourbon, and Castillo, and embracing advanced cultivation techniques.

Guided by a commitment to quality, the Vergara family integrates innovative processing methods—natural, honey, and washed—to bring out unique flavors that honor their rich terroir. In 2019, Johan’s victory in the Master of Coffee contest marked a turning point, elevating their reputation and fueling their ambition to excel. Today, Las Flores is more than a coffee farm; it’s a hub of sustainable agriculture and knowledge-sharing. The family envisions positioning Las Flores as a leader in the coffee world, driven by a dedication to quality, sustainability, and the forward-thinking spirit that defines their journey.
