About this lot
Alba Lucy Narváez grew up in a coffee-producing family in Pitalito, Huila, where coffee farming was the foundation of her family’s livelihood. While she spent her childhood surrounded by coffee, it was after becoming a mother at 18 that she decided to pursue a career in the industry. She completed a Coffee Production Technician program at SENA, where she gained knowledge in coffee cultivation, quality control, cupping, and farm management. This education helped shape her approach to specialty coffee production. Over time, Alba and her family transitioned from producing coffee for volume to focusing on quality. Today, they dedicate their efforts to El Mirador, a two-hectare, shade-grown specialty coffee farm, where they work to produce exceptional coffees while caring for the land and its long-term sustainability.
