Finca El Porvenir is located in the community of La Pradera within the municipality of Gigante, Huila - the largest coffee-producing region in Colombia.

The Huila region lies near the highest Volcano in Colombia - Nevado del Huila. The mountainous terrain provides fertile volcanic soils and high altitudes with large day-night swings in temperature. This slows cherry maturation leading to very intense, sweet and complex cups. Thanks to this Huila is renowned for the quality of its coffee all over the world. It regularly produces Cup of Excellence-winning lots. And in 2013, it received Denomination of Origin status.

Most of the farms in the region are small approx. 1-3 ha. Mainly they have their own processing facilities, both wet mills, where the coffee is pulped, fermented and washed, and space for drying the coffees.

All coffee is selectively hand-picked, sorted and floated to remove less dense beans. Then the
cherries are placed on raised beds for drying for approximately 15-21 days, depending on the
weather. During this time they are constantly turned throughout the day to ensure even drying.

After dried to the optimum humidity level (10-12%), the cherries are sent to mills to separate
the beans from the rest of the dried fruit, otherwise known as being "hulled" before being
sorted in a dry mill for the shipment.
