These days, Miller splits his time between managing his own farm- La Esperanza and the family farm left behind to him and his six siblings. Purchasing the land for La Esperanza was a long-term goal that took years to achieve. Around six years ago, Miller was finally able to purchase the land- but the parcel was affordable because it lacked basic infrastructure: no road access, limited water, and steep terrain. Coffee and other crops had to be carried on foot through a neighboring property before reaching the road below. Recently, Miller and his neighbors pooled their resources to build a shared access road, which has fundamentally changed daily life on the farm- it makes harvest, transport, and planning far more manageable.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAfter purchasing the land, MIller planted avocados, followed by coffee about four and a half years ago. He has planted exclusively pink bourbon on the land, a deliberate choice- at this elevation and in the cold microclimate, many traditional varieties produce foliage but little fruit. By contrast, pink bourbon is productive, and yields a high-quality cup. These days, he has about 10,000 pink bourbon trees in production, some interplanted among avocado trees.Miller also recently planted granadilla, and harvested his first crop.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eOn the farm, Miller works with minimal infrastructure- the wet mill at La Esperanza is a\u003cbr\u003esimple wooden structure with a hopper and a de-pulper, but there’s no electricity on the\u003cbr\u003efarm- the de-pulper is powered by a small motor. Water access is limited, and Miller\u003cbr\u003etransports parchment coffee to a family home in Bruselas to wash and dry it.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003ePROCESSING\u003cbr\u003eMiller’s processing style is formed through experimentation instead of formal training. He’s\u003cbr\u003elearned from neighbors, and many years ago, he was a member of the Los Guácharos\u003cbr\u003eassociation (a long-term partner association of ours!), and he attended workshops there too.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThese days, Miller picks fully ripe coffee, and leaves it in plastic bags in the shade for four days before de-pulping it directly into clean, sealed plastic bags, where it sits for another four days. Since there’s no water on the farm, he brings the parchment down to a family home to wash and dry it in his parabolic dryer. -- Source information credit to Shared Source\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bluebeard Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"12 oz. bag \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":52353627324706,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 oz. bag \/ French Press","offer_id":52353627357474,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 oz. bag \/ Chemex","offer_id":52353627390242,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 oz. bag \/ Flat bottom filter","offer_id":52353627423010,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 oz. bag \/ Cone filter","offer_id":52353627455778,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 oz. bag \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":52353627488546,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb. bag \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":52353627521314,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb. bag \/ French Press","offer_id":52353627554082,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb. bag \/ Chemex","offer_id":52353627586850,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb. bag \/ Flat bottom filter","offer_id":52353627619618,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb. bag \/ Cone filter","offer_id":52353627652386,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb. bag \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":52353627685154,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1773\/5695\/files\/IMG-4657.jpg?v=1787335134","url":"https:\/\/bluebeardcoffee.com\/products\/miller-vasquez-pink-bourbon-huila-colombia","provider":"Bluebeard Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
