Elías Roa is a longtime coffee producer, originally from Acevedo, Huila. He still maintains a few coffee farms there but Tamaná in El Pital has become the crown jewel. It is there he has honed his craft with more precise processing and better drying. Furthermore, he now cultivates a wide range of varieties including some older stock heirlooms and even some African varieties.
His immediate family are mostly involved in coffee in some way. His wife Bellanid, his daughter, Derlin, and son-in-law, Diego Campos (former World barista champion & Colombian Barista Champion) help manage the farm as well as their own plot in La Plata.
