Our partnership with Cata Export commenced in 2019, coinciding with the establishment of both Cata and Sweven as companies. Throughout the years, we have cultivated a remarkable friendship that has enabled us to collaborate on numerous events globally, including visits to our home in Bristol and their base in Colombia. This relationship stands as our longest and most sustainable, one that we cherish deeply and take great pride in. Catalina Gutiérrez and Pierre Fargetton, the co-founders of Cata Export, have dedicated themselves tirelessly over the past five years to uncovering and supporting small coffee producers in Colombia, facilitating direct connections with both roasters and consumers. Their commitment to sustainability has led to various projects aimed at enhancing coffee quality through customised fermentation techniques. In recognition of their efforts, they were honoured by the President of Colombia in 2020 as the Best Colombian Coffee Exporter of the Year. Their outstanding contributions have also brought global acclaim to numerous small producers, including Nestor Lasso, Oscar Hernandez, and Jhohan Vergara, who have received multiple awards for their exceptional coffees in recent years. Additionally, we recently had the opportunity to visit their newly acquired farm, Cata Reserva, in Huila, where they are engaged in exciting projects that will soon be unveiled. We eagerly anticipate showcasing these developments here at Sweven.
