About this lot
ORIGIN Colombia is the third largest producer of coffee in the world after Brazil and Vietnam – exporting approximately nine million bags of green coffee each year. Blessed with high elevations, nutrient rich soils and ample year-round rainfall, the country benefits from ideal coffee growing conditions. The municipality of Inza is located in the famous Cauca coffee-growing region and is an area of land that sits high on a Colombian plateau called the ‘Macizo Colombiano’. This region is perfect for growing specialty coffee as altitudes reach over 2000 masl where smallholder producers work on plots of land between one to two hectares in size. PRODUCER There are currently 290 members of the ASORCAFE Association which was established in 2003 to support smallholder producers in accessing specialty coffee markets. The association provides infrastructure and training to further their education
