ABOUT THIS COFFEE

This lot comes is composed of harvests from 40 women

producers in the Villa Corzo area. Café Delas sources

green coffee from farming operations owned by women,

who are paid directly for their coffee. Perhaps most

importantly, the Café Delas program does not only

search for circumstances where women are the decision

makers behind a coffee, but also actively provides

support and education to women involved in coffee to

equip them to be leaders of their community.

The La Concordia region is known for producing excellent

coffee due to various factors, such as the agroclimatic

conditions of the area, altitude, soils, great diversity of

natural interactions and of course, the people who

through effort and care are able to produce the “Oro

Verde” (green gold as it is called). The small farmers in

this region take an artisan approach to their production,

taking their coffee from seed to dry parchment. The

coffees are picked ripe, de-pulped and fermented for 12-

17 hours. After the fermentation process, the coffee is

then washed and sun dried on farmers’ yards or zarandas in order to deliver the best qualities and high-

end profiles required.
