In the steep hills of Planadas, Tolima, Eduar Giraldo and his wife Diana Lorena are writing a new chapter in their family’s long history of coffee farming. Although Eduar bought his first plot of land at a young age, his focus shifted decisively toward high-quality production in 2020, driven by a desire to see his family’s hard work recognised on a global stage. His approach is one of constant learning; a recent trip to Brazil to study technical advancements has only deepened his commitment to precision at his farm, La Esperanza.
