Sourcing Details Coffee cultivation on small family owned farms is the backbone of production in Colombia.

Banexport, a Colombian export company, works directly with many of these producers who have a shared commitment for exquisite coffee processing, and loving care for their farms and the environment.

The model of collaborative effort produces traceable community blends with vibrant regional profiles. Processing Details This lot comes from 7 producers with small farms in the municipality of Caldono within the department of Cauca. Joaquin Alvaro Tunubala, Hugo Hernán Trujillo Mosquera, Hector Giraldo Melo Araujo, Luis Alberto Chate Chocue, James Mosquera Pechené, Jose Betancur Patiño, and Jairo Bomba have their own micro-mill where they carefully harvest cherries, depulp, ferment, wash and gently dry the parchment on raised beds. Exporting Details While individual producers have designed farm management and post-harvest solutions to fit their needs, the strong alliance with Banexport provides crucial logistical support for things like warehousing and milling coffee for export to the international market, which provides better income for everyone to reinvest in their farms and strengthen their families’ livelihoods. Banexport also helps producers gain access to technical support regarding best practices for farm management, processing the harvest, and cupping feedback, which helps producers improve the quality of their coffee.
