Paola Trujillo is a young, dedicated coffee grower. She and her family own Patio Bonito Farm, an 11-hectare land located at 1570 m.a.s.l in the Pescador municipality in the north of the Cauca department.
This is a traditional variety in Colombia and most of the small-scale coffee farmers have this variety in their parcels. In the late eighteenth century, cultivation spread to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Colombia. Until the 1940s, the majority of coffee plantations in South and Central America were planted with Typica.

Paola and her family are well-known for growing from high-quality traditional varieties to amazing exotics: Castillo, Colombia, Bourbon Rosado, Gesha, Bourbon Aji, Bourbon, Sydra, SL28, WushWush, Typica, Laurina, among others.
Her mother, Maria Angela, taught her the value of sharing knowledge, and her father, Carlos, gave her the opportunity to work on the coffee project. Paola studied chemical engineering, and after her studies, she realized she wanted to join the family business and support her parents with coffee cultivation.
She learned all the stages of pre and post-harvest. She has focused on improving the quality and process of the coffee. All her family is involved in this process, allowing them to build a great family project recognized in the region.
Paola also provides courses and training at the farm for young people. In this way, she supports young people, raising their passion and knowledge for the coffee industry, and helps maintain the coffee legacy of their families.
