LINARCO RODRIGUEZ

With over 80 years of family history in Palestina, Huila, the Betania farm, at an altitude of 1,800 meters above sea level, has been passed down from generation to generation. Linarco’s grandparents, Mrs. Teresa and Mr. Lino, started with corn and beans; his parents consolidated the coffee industry with Típica, Bourbon, and Caturra; and today, Mr. Linarco Rodríguez is leading its transformation.

After the 2014 coffee crisis, he decided to focus on specialty coffees, introducing varieties such as Pink Bourbon, Geisha, and SL28, while perfecting the fermentation techniques that have led to excellence. His mission is to honor the family legacy and guide Finca Betania toward a sustainable future of superior quality.
