Colombia - Franky Hoyos / Co-Ferment Aji
Watermelon, Sugar, Bubble Gum
Third-generation producer Franky Hoyos is part of the family behind Finca El Encanto, a 14.5-hectare farm in Pitalito, Huila. Growing up immersed in coffee, he later developed skills in roasting, brewing and sensory analysis, giving him an understanding from cherry to cup.
Today, the family combines generations of knowledge with rare varieties and experimental processing, creating distinctive coffees rooted in curiosity, resilience and a shared commitment to quality.
