About the Farm - Cafe Altura Colombian Coffee is sourced from family owned farms organized around Asociacion de Productores Ecologicos de Planadas (ASOPEP), an organization operating within the municipality of Planadas in the department of Tolima, Colombia.
On average, each producer cultivates coffee on 6 acres of land and relies on the income from coffee production for a living. ASOPEP is currently working on acquiring their fair trade certification as another way to support and open new opportunities for coffee producers in the region
I’ve been a Folger’s columbian coffee drinker for many years (ya I know) and just recently picked up a grinder and tried several different coffees and have to say I enjoyed this one the most. It’s a good flavor and strength (I like it a bit strong mind you) that’s noticeable in a good way. Combine that with a quick froth and Starbucks has got ZERO to offer you from now on.
It was with great anticipation, that I waited for my coffee delivery of these Organic Colombian beans… and I was not disappointed! With so many dark roasts, over roasted, and varieties available, I was glad I chose to try this company! The price was right, and the coffee, smooth, mellow, yet full flavored and satisfying. It’s a fair price for Organic.
This is our “house” coffee. Excellent smooth flavor. Not too light and not too strong. We mix in other coffees pretty often to try, but the Altura keeps coming up a winner.
