COLOMBIA ORGANIC HUILA ISNOS

Regional Details:

El Macizo Colombiano is the geographic breakpoint where the Andes mountain range splits into three distinct ranges and forms the water source for five of the most important rivers in Colombia.  This particular lot comes from the heart of the Macizo and the location of the tallest waterfall in Colombia.  The coffee harvest is organized around the Asociacion Regional La Cascada de Bordones and their collective of 400 acres in an area called Bordones, in the Municipality of Isnos.

Processing Details:

The producers have embraced farm management practices along with picking and sorting strategies to ensure exquisitely matured cherries.  Producers depulp, ferment, wash and dry the coffee using micro-mills at the farms. Once drying has been completed, the coffee is taken to the exporter’s warehouse and stored until it is time to mill and export.

Exporting Details:

The exporter, Racafe provides a centralized warehouse to store dried coffee and a cupping lab where producers get immediate feedback regarding the quality of their coffee from a trained quality control team.  Throughout the post harvest process, Racafe ensures traceability and quality control for exporting to the international market, which means better income reaches farmers so they can reinvest in their farms and strengthen their families’ livelihoods.
