Transition to organic farming
Don Jesus Maria Pedraza is the spokesperson for an association of 20 producers who share a common vision of agriculture. Self-sufficient at 85%, Don Jesus is transitioning his farm to an organic and shady plantation. In order to work in harmony with his environment, he prefers to reduce the number of coffee trees in order to produce less but better.
Remuneration above market prices
One of the very important objectives of this project is to pay the producers above the market price. In Colombia, the coffee producer is paid per 'carga', which is equivalent to 125 kg of cherries. Why 125 kg? This is simply the weight that a mule can carry. Today in Colombia the market pays about 700,000 COP (Colombian pesos) per carga, whereas our partner paid 1,000,000 pesos to the producer for this coffee.
Decaffeination process
This coffee is decaffeinated by Descafecol. This is a process that removes the caffeine from the coffee by extraction with a solvent: ethyl acetate. The beans are put in contact with steam to dilate their pores and then rinsed with the natural solvent which captures the caffeine molecules leaving the aromatic molecules.

The region Quindio
The department of Quindío is the smallest of the country's continental territory, with a surface area of 1,845 km2. It stands out in the country for the strong roots of the coffee culture and for its natural wealth, represented by exuberant vegetation and a great diversity of ecosystems.
A couple of facts demonstrate the importance of coffee in this region: all of Quindío's 12 municipalities are coffee producers, and 207 of its 267 villages are coffee-growing. The department is the twelfth largest coffee producer in the country (out of 20), with an estimated annual production of 666,000 60-kilogram bags of green coffee or, in other words, 6 % of the Colombian harvest.
Quindío is one of the departments that make up the Eje Cafetero, which was once abundant in coffee crops before being devastated by a major earthquake in 1999. From then on, its expansion and recognition began to be directed towards tourism for its beautiful landscapes and colonial towns. Today, its fertile land continues to be attractive for coffee and other crops, especially in the mountain range area in the municipalities of: Pijao, Buenavista and Génova where soils rich in organic matter are still preserved.
