Origin Story
Our signature Blend is grown in Valle del Cauca, Colombia.
- Valle del Cauca, Colombia, is ideal for growing Castillo natural coffee due to its diverse elevation range and cooler temperatures at higher altitudes.
- The region's plentiful rainfall and moderate temperatures create favorable conditions for healthy coffee plant growth.
- Rich, volcanic soils and a thriving ecosystem contribute to the unique flavors found in Valle del Cauca's coffee beans.
The disease-resistant Castillo variety thrives in the region, providing a more sustainable choice for coffee production.
From Farm to Community
Quality Control and Export
The cooperative dries, mills, and grades the coffee beans, ensuring quality and consistency. They then export the beans to international buyers.
Reaching the Roasters
The exporter sells the coffee beans to specialty coffee roasters around the world. Roasters select beans based on their unique flavor profiles.
From Roaster to Your Cup
The roaster roasts the beans to perfection, then sells them to cafes, shops, or directly to consumers. Finally, you get to enjoy a delicious cup of Colombian specialty coffee!
