Colombia | El Tambo | 50%

Sandra Vallejo is part of an association made up of small coffee producers in Santuario, Risaralda. It only has 40 active members and are very strict with the coffees they receive from their members (only 84+ coffees). This has helped their community push coffee quality up and that is how we found Sandra, a women that had to take over the farm when her husband died 6 years ago. Mother of 2 children, she had to learn fast about coffee and found a strong support in the association. With their help and the natural benefits of her land, a beautiful 5 hectares farm producing coffee and plantain, that is surrounded by the Tatama National Park, she has been able to offer her first 85+ coffee.

The agronomist Guy Carvalho bought Fazenda Paraiso in 1990. Passionate about coffee, Guy Carvalho’s approach is quality driven. In 1996 Fazenda Paraiso participated in Project Gourmet in Brazil, this project was in partnership with OIC to improve quality and introduce the process of Pulped Natural into this farm.

The farm is located in a traditional coffee-growing district of Cabo Verde, in a region that presents ideal conditions for coffee production, such as an average altitude of 950 meters (3,100 feet) and a climate with well-defined seasons, low humidity and favourable temperatures. The farm has drying patios and produces both natural (dry-processed) and pulped natural coffee, using modern processing equipment including a washer and a pulper, and a mechanical mucilage remover that is used to produce pulped natural coffees during periods of excessive rain.

Fazenda Paraiso is committed to the production of coffee on a socially and environmentally sustainable basis. Guy, an agronomist by trade, is very involved in this project to maintain the environment and to produce coffee in a sustainable manner.

In order to promote a safe working environment, all workers are required to wear individual protection equipment and to participate in regular training courses under the guidance of a work safety engineer.
