Felipe Arcila is one of the founders of Cofinet, an exporting partner we’ve been working with, in Colombia. He is also a coffee producer and owns a farm with his brother, Carlos, called Jardines del Eden.
Felipe grew up in coffee. His father, Jairo, purchased his first coffee farm in 1987. Now with over 15 years of experience in the coffee industry, Felipe is dedicated and driven to make a positive impact on other coffee growers’ lives and projects, through shared knowledge and hand-in-hand success.
