About this Coffee

Daniel Muñoz is a unique figure in coffee in San Agustin, coming from a slightly different background than many of the growers Semilla works with. Though coffee farming was a part of his history, the primary crop his family grew was and continues to be sugar cane, with coffee becoming increasingly part of their farm.

As Daniel came of age, he created opportunities off the farm for his family by developing a panela factory, where would take the raw product produced by his family farm and turn it into the incredibly popular Colombian snack, which he sold in San Agustin. For years, he ran this factory in conjunction with a hardware store in San Agustin before becoming enamoured with coffee and the potential it held.

He then purchased Villa Camila with the direct purpose of growing high-grade specialty coffee, and his farm is explicitly committed to Pink Bourbon and Gesha. His first foray into the specialty market came via the Los Naranjos association. He became acquaintes with the group and began to sell his Pink Bourbons as part of their blended lots, and has done so for the last ten years. In the last three years, the standalone quality of his micro-lots has been noticed, however, and he has amassed some very well-known clients in Europe who consistently purchase small amounts of his excellent coffees.
