About The Coffee

This washed lot is made up from 1,042 small organic growers organised into 23 farmer groups in the subregion of Planadas, South Tolima. These farmers, most of whom continue a family tradition of coffee cultivation, are based at elevations up to 2,050masl and grow the varieties of Colombia, Castillo and Caturra.

Planadas is located on the southern tip of the department of Tolima, close to borders with Huila and Cauca. Situated in the foothills of the central mountain range of the Colombian Andes, the region benefits from excellent altitudes, cool temperatures, plentiful sunshine and rain, and rich volcanic soils.

Coffee farmers in Tolima are dedicated and traditional. In some areas, their infrastructure is not as developed as in other regions because of the history of conflict. This is the region where FARC guerrilla originated and therefore, communities all across Tolima experienced the cruelest years of conflict in Colombia. As a result, and despite exceptional growing conditions, many farmers were previously isolated from access to extension services, agri-inputs and thriving markets for their coffee. 

To process this coffee, organically grown cherries are selected, de-pupled and fermented to break down the mucilage. The coffee is then thoroughly washed and dried in a parabolic greenhouse for between 10 and 18 days, depending on the climatic conditions. 

As with many coffee origins, it is believed that coffee was first brought to Colombia by priests, arriving, perhaps, within a decade or two after coffee first came to the Americas via the Caribbean in the first half of the 17th century. It was likely a garden crop grown for local consumption and barter for decades. Unlike other coffee regions, we have the story of a priest named Francisco Romero, who could be called the father of commercial coffee cultivation in Colombia. The folkloric tale goes that in the early 1800’s, Father Francisco, hearing confessions in the north eastern town of Salazar de la Palmas, assigned planting coffee to his parishioners as penance for their sins. The Archbishop of Colombia heard about this and ordered all priests to adopt the practice. Commercial production of coffee expanded quickly, moving into regions where the growing conditions were ideal.

Great Safe Can Opener
Color: Black+Grey
The 1️⃣ touch can opener is great⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. It is easy to use & eliminates possible cuts to my hand on those cans that have a pop up lid. I am almost 70 so sometimes using a manual can opener is difficult. Thank you for selling a quality product at a really fair price ⭐️🌈⭐️🌈⭐️Donna Pearson in New Orleans

Great, leaves top of can Very sharp!
Color: Grey Red
Tried it out the second I got it today. Works great. Just know that it leaves the top of the can VERY sharp!!! So if you are scooping things out, use a very long handle like a spatula. Will add another star if it lasts more then 6 months

Love it takes up less space and easy to use
Color: Grey Red
The can opener works awesome easy to use and the magnet helps hold the lid after use. Easy to clean and easy to stack to the can. Batter life seems great and the product seems durable no issues. Highly recommend.

So far
Color: Black+Grey
I did have a electric can opener before and that brand didn't really work well at all. With this one I have only opened 3 cans with it so far and it worked perfectly. I am very happy with the product and it is really easy to work with. I didn't know if it was going to work on a bigger can and when I put it on it did the job just like it is supposed too.

Frustrating Opener
Color: Black+Grey
I love and hate these at the same time! I have had several and this one will not stop once it has started! Even though there is a button that says start/stop whenever you push it, it just starts it all over again and I can’t get the lid out. Very frustrating.
