Sebastian is a fourth generation coffee producer, and runs the El Placer Farms Project in Quindio and Huila.

El Placer is known for innovation in post-harvest coffee processing, while standardisation enables extremely high consistency, overall yielding exceptional coffees which are very consistent.

Sebastian uses yeasts and lactic bacteria cultivated by El Placer's fermentation team to obtain unique flavour profiles.

This coffee exemplifies Sebastian's work, and displays beautiful floral characteristics, green tea notes, citrus and stone fruit.
