About This Coffee
Viani is a small town in Cundinamarca, a short drive down from Bogotá. This lot is a community effort: cherry from more than 400 small farms across five municipalities is gathered at three collection points, then carefully sorted to lift quality year after year. The move to GrainPro storage and stricter sorting has raised the cup and, just as importantly, put more income into the hands of the growers.
The main collection point in Sierra town handles around 70% of the harvest. Farmers arrive with wet and dry parchment, the quality and weight are checked, a price is agreed and they are paid in cash on the spot before heading home with a fresh empty bag to refill. Most of these are multi-crop family farms, growing plantain and avocado alongside coffee — the avocado trees shade the coffee and spread the household’s income risk.
Recent seasons have been hard: near-daily rain has cut Viani’s production by roughly half compared with two years ago, which makes fair pricing and steady demand more important than ever. Buying this coffee helps keep these small farms viable.
