Colombia- Aipectico

This coffee comes from a group of producers in the district of Alto del Obispo near the town of San Agustin,
they are located in the Huila region which is known for high quality specialty coffee. The local co op established
a communal garden for small local producers and the community and people in the community’s they can get
the opportunity to grow coffee and other crops to support their families.
The Co op and producers have worked well over the past 25 years, procedures and processes on the local farms
constantly improving. Coffee farming within the region is mainly on a small scale. Approximately 80% of
producers from the region farm coffee on less than 3 hectares of land. These small farms are tended by
individual families with labour only rarely being contracted out. This type of structure generally leads to more
thorough and intensive management practises and great pride in the final product.
