Victor’s story begins far from the coffee fi elds of San Adolfo. Born and raised in Pitalito, Victor studied law in Bogotá and worked as a lawyer until 2020, when the pandemic abruptly canceled his plans to move to Sweden for a postgraduate degree. Victor returned home to Huila, and back to his family’s farm, Finca Buenos Aires.

When Victor returned home, Jairo offered him space to experiment with new processes and varieties, giving him the freedom to transform the family farm into a centre for specialty coffee, and allowing him to express himself in a new way. Grateful for this turn of fate, Victor is continuously experimenting and adjusting fermentation times to emphasize balance and varietal expression.
