Colombia Jhoan Vergara Chiroso Farmlevel Reserve

Jhoan Vergara represents a new generation of Colombian producers advancing family farms through careful experimentation and technical training. At Finca Las Flores in Acevedo, Huila, he builds on the work his parents, Edilberto Vergara and Nubia Ayure, started, planting the farm’s first coffee trees in 1990. Their early commitment to quality helped establish the farm’s reputation, highlighted by Nubia’s 16th place finish in the 2006 Cup of Excellence.

After studying agricultural practices and coffee processing at SENA, Jhoan returned to the farm to refine cultivation and introduce new varieties, including Chiroso, Pink Bourbon, and Sidra. Alongside his brothers Carlos and Diego, he continues to develop precise fermentation and drying protocols. Their collaborative approach has helped position Finca Las Flores as one of Acevedo’s most innovative family-run farms.
