Authentic single-origin coffee from Colombia

Las Planadas Organic is grown at Finca La Roma, in the municipality of Planadas, at the heart of Colombia’s renowned Tolima region. Once isolated by conflict, this mountainous area is now recognised as one of Colombia’s most celebrated origins for exceptional speciality coffee.

Thanks to Tolima’s outstanding natural conditions and the expertise of its dedicated producers, the coffee displays remarkable clarity, elegance and balance, while beautifully expressing the distinctive character of its origin.

A Committed Project Supporting Coffee Growers

This coffee comes from the Black Condor Project, an initiative led by Emmanuel, a third-generation coffee producer, together with Forest Coffee. Since 2019, the project has supported more than fifteen coffee-growing villages around Gaitania, helping producers improve coffee quality while securing fairer prices, often reaching nearly 30% above conventional market rates.

Growers benefit from ongoing training in fermentation, drying, cupping and quality control. Today, this initiative is playing an important role in the economic revival of one of Colombia’s most iconic coffee-producing regions.

Two Iconic Varieties Enhanced by a Washed Process

Las Planadas Organic combines two emblematic Colombian coffee varieties: Caturra and Castillo. Caturra is prized for its delicate aromatics and natural sweetness, while Castillo brings a fuller body and excellent consistency, creating a beautifully balanced cup.

To ensure outstanding quality, only perfectly ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked. After pulping, the beans are left to ferment in their mucilage for around 24 hours before being carefully washed and slowly dried on patios for 15 to 25 days.

This traditional washed process brings remarkable clarity to the cup, allowing the distinctive character of the Tolima terroir to shine through with elegance, balance and a clean, vibrant finish.
