We worked with an Australian producer company that source real good Colombians, we find their coffee processing very interest and unique. Unlike the other Colombia coffee we bought before. Most of their coffees are available on Market Lane, Proud Mary etc..

For 80 years their family business has grown and distributed the finest Colombian coffee to local exporters. In 2015 they expanded their operations and began producing, sourcing and exporting speciality coffee to the rest of the world.As growers, they specialise in alternative fermentation processes that are new to Colombia. On their farm and and Processing Centre La Pradera, the most exotic varieties are processed achieving unique profiles that are unknown for Colombian coffees.

This coffee has multi-layer flavour for Filter/Pourover and Espresso, good value for money.
