Slave to the grind

Small Producers of La Plata

This lot comes from a group of 10 members of our supply partner Pergamino’s Allied Producer Program who produce coffee in the municipality of La Plata. Located in the state of Huila, Colombia the region is found at a staggering elevation of 1,900-2,100m above sea level. The municipality covers several mountainside towns that border Inzá, in the state of Cauca, and forms part of the Macizo Colombiano (‘Great Colombian Massif’). Much like the soil found in these well-known coffee regions, the volcanic terrain of La Plata is perfect for coffee growing. Farmers here also benefit from year-round cool temperatures, access to abundant clean water, and almost exclusively produce coffee from older Caturra trees in plots of land under three hectares in size.
