About this coffee :

In the 1950s, in the municipality of Riosucio Caldas, as in all Colombian coffee-producing municipalities, coffee farmers were dissatisfied with the exploitation they suffered by intermediary grain buyers. It was then that a group of coffee farmers, guided by the Cooperative Development Department of the Caldas Departmental Coffee Committee, called 255 farmers to the Constituent Assembly, which was held at the warehouses of the National Federation of Coffee Growers in Riosucio at 10:30 a.m. on June 29, 1963. Founding members included coffee farmers of different social, cultural, and religious backgrounds, some of whom led activities to benefit the cooperative.

 On March 4, 1964, the Coffee Farmers' Cooperative began providing direct services in Riosucio, including coffee purchase, credit section, and agricultural provision.

 Today, it has 2,635 members distributed across 171 villages located in the Department of Caldas in the municipalities of Riosucio, Supia, Marmato, and Quinchía in the Department of Risaralda. The staff consists of 64 employees who work with commitment and dedication to provide appropriate service to all members at the seven purchase points.

98% of coffee farmers are small-scale producers, which means that labor is provided by their families. Through their work, members have succeeded in positioning specialty coffee in the national and international markets due to its quality and sensory attributes in the cup, standing out for efficient marketing and different specialty coffee programs such as FairTrade, C.A.F.E PRACTICES, La Vereda, Nespresso, Organic Coffee, and Rainforest. 

This washed coffee exhibits the wonderful cleanliness of how good Colombian coffee. Very clean & clear grape juiciness paired with hints of floral qualities, finished with nougat sweetness. This coffee will make a sweet espresso that will totally make your day.
