Caturra Floral - Andrés Martinez

Andrés is a Biochemical Engineer by training and a coffee grower by heritage. Driven by both passion and precision, Andrés channels his scientific background into thoughtful fermentation and post-harvest practices.

He began his career at Tecnicafé, an institute in Cauca dedicated to coffee research and innovation, where he worked for a year. Later, he joined Finca El Paraíso, a farm recognized in the specialty coffee industry, where he worked with Diego Samuel Bermúdez, a well-known coffee grower. At this farm, Andrés was in charge of soil studies and process standardization.

Recently, he left his position at El Paraiso to focus on his own coffee project. He now owns two farms in Cauca which are home to prized varieties like Geisha, Chiroso, and Bourbon Rosado. Though still expanding infrastructure, he’s already established cherry collection hubs in both Cauca and Nariño to support quality at scale.

Andrés’ coffee work reflects a combination of heritage, education, and experimentation — and it shows in every cup.
