Organic Colombia Tolima Regenerative

Coming from the volcanic soils of Tolima, Colombia, where the Multicoop cooperative leads an advanced model of Regenerative Organic agriculture. This regenerative certified coffee boasts a complex cup profile, characterized by notes of candied papaya, pineapple, and herbaceous nuances over a solid chocolate base, a result of the mineral-rich volcanic soils of the Tolima department. The lot specifically originates from the municipalities of Planadas, Rioblanco, and Chaparral, a region that, after years of isolation due to armed conflict, has revitalized its agricultural economy by leveraging its privileged geographical conditions and altitudes ranging from 1,500 to 2,200 meters. Production is managed by the Multiactive Cooperative (Multicoop), an organization that brings together 379 small producers focused on standardizing quality and positioning the coffee from this area in the specialty market. The agricultural practices for this lot go beyond traditional organic farming, implementing a regenerative model designed to restore soil health and increase local biodiversity. Coffee farmers use natural compost and cover crops that not only nourish the coffee plants but also help capture carbon and retain water in the soil. Processing is decentralized: each family operates its own micro-mill on the farm, handling selective harvesting, pulping, fermentation, and sun-drying. This allows for rigorous quality control at every stage before the beans reach the collection point.
