Agustina Ruiz Muñoz is a farmer through and through. From birth and throughout her childhood, she grew up on a farm, practically in the fields, where she learned everything about coffee cultivation from her father.
Today, she lives on the El Recuerdo farm with her husband and six children. Together, they form a family business where everyone shares a passion for coffee and its cultivation. Agustina passes on her experience and knowledge to her children, teaching them not only how to care for coffee plants but also the importance of maintaining quality and constantly improving.
Every day, Agustina builds on the pillars of continuous learning, love for the land, and pride in her coffee. Along with her family, she strives to push the boundaries of specialty coffee quality, which they grow on their 5 hectares of land in the Bruselas area of Pitalito, Huila.

The coffee is a blend of the Castillo, Colombia, Caturra, and Catimore varieties. Harvesting begins with the selection of ripe cherries, followed by floating to remove impurities and defective beans. The traditional washed process includes depulping, overnight fermentation, and morning washing. Drying takes place in a covered rooftop drying area, ventilated as needed to ensure optimal conditions based on humidity levels.
