This coffee is processed at the El Vergel farm located in Fresno, Tolima, by the Bayter brothers, Shady and Elias. They have been engaged in agriculture since their childhood, following in the footsteps of their parents, who initially grew avocados. Growing up in the countryside fostered a deep connection between the brothers, their farming practices, and the region of their upbringing. In 2012, they embarked on a journey into the coffee industry and developed a passion for it. This led to the emergence of grand aspirations centred around coffee. Two years later, they became aware of the specialty coffee movement, which provided them with a clear vision for both El Vergel and their personal pursuits. In 2016, after several years of studying coffee varieties, suitable climates, and soils, the Bayter brothers initiated a varietal project at Finca El Vergel. The farm benefits from a unique microclimate due to its proximity to the snow-capped Nevado del Ruiz volcano, which is situated on its slopes. This marks our third year collaborating with Elias and Shady, and we continue to appreciate their efforts and contributions to producing some of the finest specialty coffees in Colombia and around the globe. The Reforest Project aims to plant 50,000 native trees across the northern Tolima and southern Caldas regions of Colombia. Commencing with an initial planting of 200 trees on the farms of 30 local coffee producers near El Vergel Estate, which is situated in Fresno, Tolima. The efforts are focused on revitalising coffee landscapes and promoting a healthier ecosystem. By implementing reforestation and sustainable farming practices, we are enhancing resilience to climate change while empowering coffee growers to adapt to changing environmental conditions. This initiative presents a hopeful outlook for the future of coffee in Colombia. We invite you to join us in creating a sustainable future for coffee in Colombia. Supporting the Reforest Project directly contributes to the preservation of Colombia’s coffee heritage and the strengthening of coffee-growing communities. Together, we can achieve a lasting impact.
