Colombia Valle del Cauca Bourbon Noir 35KG GrainPro

Coffee Background

Colombia Valle del Cauca Bourbon Noir 35KG GrainPro is sourced from a family owned estate located in the municipality of Caicedonia within the Valle del Cauca department, Colombia.  Granja La Esperanza, consisting of four distinct farms (Cerro Azul, Las Margaritas, La Esperanza, Potosi, and Hawaii), is managed by Rigoberto and Luis, two of eleven siblings following in the footsteps of their grandparents who began cultivating coffee in Valle del Cauca in the 1930s.  Rigoberto and Luis meticulously manage the various micro-climates throughout the four farms to ensure optimum adaptability and exceptional cherry maturation of the red bourbon variety at Las Margaritas. The brothers have also embraced innovation at their wet and dry mill to reduce water and fossil fuel consumption. Beyond coffee, the brothers focus on creating gender balance in the workforce, dignified wages, and educational opportunities for workers and their children.
