- Get to know who, how and where the coffee that you will sell to your clients is produced. Each coffee goes through a unique process, many times engineered by the producer herself. Acquire the coffee in a direct and consistent manner and praise the value created at the farm.
- Buying without the unnecessary intermediaries allows the producer to obtain better prices. This helps generate better jobs and more prosperous rural communities.
- When you buy pre-harvest you allow the producer to produce on demand at an agreed price. This is the most powerful way to motivate investment in quality. In addition, you indirectly support producers to get financing at a lower cost.
- Support producers who strive for implementing environmentally friendly cultivation practices. It requires a lot of effort and higher costs to protect the environment and put in practice cleaner ways of farming. Support a more environmentally sustainable industry and communicate this to your customers.
- Specially crafted coffee is not easily available as the big chunk of volume is pulled by commercial coffee, which is often institutionally protected. Therefore, buying crafted coffee is a great option to reward those risk-taking, innovative and revolutionary producers that are committed to conscious and quality consumption.
Terroir: Huila
Huila is framed by the Central and Eastern ranges of the Andes, with most of the region situated in the Magdalena River Valley, which provides a great variation in climate, with temperatures in this region varying between 17 and 26ºc, with altitudes between 1400 and 1900 metres above sea level. It is also characterised by volcanic soil with high nitrogen content, which contributes to the development of such unique and complex flavours.
Huila's coffees are known for splendid sweet flavours and bright acidity. Often characterized by round body, complex, expressive and intense fragrance, fruity notes of raspberry and pineapple, Huila's coffee can be very diverse due the complexity of soild and diversity of climates.

Cultivar: Tabi
A variety developed and released in 2002 in Colombia by Cenicafe by crossing the varietals; Bourbon, Typica and the Timor Hybrid.
The Tabi varietal is very similar to Bourbon and Typica, being tall with long branches however, its fruits and seeds are slightly larger. It adapts very well to high altitudes, perfect for the mountainous regions in Colombia.
One of the most important attributes is its resistance to coffee leaf rust, but it also displays the good cup quality characteristics of its Bourbon and Typica parents.
Tabi is morphologically very similar to Bourbon and Typica, being tall with long branches; however, its fruits and seeds are slightly larger. It can be grown in high density (up to up to 3,000 trees per hectare) and adapts well to high altitudes.
The name Tabi means “good” in the Guambiano (a native Colombian tribe) dialect.
