Rafael was born in Tolima and has been working in Coffee with his father, also a coffee grower, for over 35 years. Back in 2002, he managed to buy his first farm in Timana, Huila, but only in 2012, he got started with specialty coffees.

Since 2014 he's been working with differentiated processes and extended fermentation, which marked a turning point in his life.
