Background Details

This coffee is sourced from family-owned farms organized around COAGROVIDA Ltda., a producer association with 45 members who live within the municipality of Planadas in the department of Tolima, Colombia. Cradled between other well-known growing regions, Tolima's emerging reputation for specialty coffee production has remained hidden in plain sight for many years because armed conflict and coca leaf production isolated small coffee producers and exposed them to high rates of violence. COAGROVIDA was founded in 2003 to support members through coffee quality improvement initiatives aimed toward better earnings for better livelihoods.
