Rubio has been working with coffee for more than 35 years. He began by helping his father on the family farm where he grew up, and later his father gifted him a small piece of land where he established his own farm, Renacer. Throughout his life, Rubio has traveled across different regions of Colombia working as a coffee picker. During these journeys, he used every opportunity to learn about new varietals and farming techniques—knowledge he now applies to his own farm. Deeply passionate about coffee, Rubio is grateful that it has allowed him to provide for his family.

At Renacer, Rubio cultivates 1,200 Pink Bourbon trees. Because his farm is small, he chooses to focus on producing high-end, high-quality coffees. To achieve this, Rubio and his wife, Maria Fany, handle all of the picking and processing themselves, allowing them to maintain careful attention to detail at every step. They harvest only ripe cherries, let them rest overnight, depulp them the next morning, and ferment the coffee for 32 hours. After a light wash to remove floaters, the coffee is dried slowly on raised beds.
