The Producers

Bourbon and Papayo beans, grown in the lush landscapes of Huila, undergo a carefully monitored fully washed process led by Terra Coffee and local producers. The beans are de-pulped and washed to remove all mucilage, then fermented in water for 12 hours. Afterward, they are dried on raised beds for 10-12 days, depending on the weather.

Huila is renowned for its rich flavours and coffee excellence, symbolising Colombia's dedication to quality and passion for coffee production. Terra Coffee, operating in Nariño and Huila, supports producers by enhancing production, processing, and quality. They tailor their techniques to different altitudes, varieties, and farm infrastructures, specialising in washed, honey, natural, and other innovative processes.

Terra Coffee ensures product traceability and consistency while educating producers in good farming practices, safety protocols, sensory analysis, and fermentation techniques. Their commitment to gender equity and youth inclusion strengthens the partnership and reflects shared values, making their work in Colombian coffee regions both impactful and valuable.
