The story of the lot

Full Description

Café Agrario is an association of producers from Ortega, Tolima. This association was born with a political purpose, where the leader never intended to seek help from the government or other entities aimed at helping farmers achieve better yield and quality.

At first this did not cause problems for the members, but over time and with the formation of new associations in the region, the members realized that this type of help is the reason why associations are created – not for political purposes. This original political leader came from the conflict/guerrilla for which Tolima was known in previous years.

After 6 years, the association changed leaders and direction and began receiving help from government entities. The progress of the association and coffee farmers in terms of quality and quantity has been enormous. They focused on specialty coffee, trying to increase their income by producing better quality coffee. The coffee from this association is processed as fully washed coffee because drying coffee in their climate is particularly difficult.

Farmers soak the coffee to remove unwanted material and empty beans, then depulp the cherries and let the beans ferment overnight for 12-16 hours depending on the weather, then wash it thoroughly before taking it to the parabolic solar dryers which are used for 8-12 days to dry the coffee to 10.5%.

The biggest challenge that local farmers face is the lack of knowledge and limited communication, as they are very far from any nearby city. For this reason, the Siruma workshops have been very useful for them to acquire new knowledge and make great progress in quality and moisture control.

Is it organic?
Our coffees aren’t certified organic, but we work with full traceability: we know the producer, origin and process, and we publish the farmgate price paid at origin. We prove quality with transparency, not just a label.
  • Coffee that respects those who drink it and those who produce it
GuideHow to choose
Nitrogen & vacuum sealing
Every pack is sealed in a protective atmosphere — first vacuum, then nitrogen — to remove oxygen. Unopened, the coffee stays fresh for up to about 2 months after roasting. Shelf life depends a lot on temperature and season: a little less in summer, a little more in winter.
Roast profile
We roast in two profiles, depending on your brewing method:
  • Light — great for V60/Aeropress, for those who want brighter acidity and lots of aromatics. Recommended for all pressure-free methods (filter, Aeropress and similar).
  • Medium — great for espresso/Moka, for those who want a more intense flavour with a hint of bitterness. Recommended for espresso and Moka.
Grind
Any grind works, as long as it suits your method. With us you can choose whole beans, or pre-ground for Moka or for filter.
Shelf life
For the best taste, enjoy it within 10–45 days of roasting (60 at most). The roast date is always printed on the label.
Compostable packaging eco
Our coffee comes in compostable packaging: a conscious choice to cut plastic waste and reduce our environmental impact, while keeping the coffee perfectly fresh. Once empty, dispose of the pack following the instructions on the label.
