Colombia Sol Naciente Organic

Café Colombie Sol Naciente is a 100% Arabica organic specialty coffee with notes of chocolate, hazelnut and yellow fruit.

In the Sierra region, farmers are recognized as victims of the armed conflict and benefit from land restitution programs. Now that they have their land back, it's time to turn the page. They plan to unite their efforts to produce high-quality coffee in order to strengthen their commercial image and improve their members' quality of life. These members are also certified organic and promote a sustainable coffee culture distinguished by its origin and quality, while maintaining a high level of commitment to environmental protection and preservation, and contributing to social equality. Now that they have access to international markets, they want their local cup to be recognized by specialty coffee lovers.

The beautiful and distinctive territory of Palmor, in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, has an ecosystem linked to the Sevilla river basin, which in turn is linked to the country's banana zone. In Palmor, harvests are regular thanks to its latitude. Secreta, which includes the small town of San Pedro and parts of San Javier and Siberia, is also linked to the Córdoba River.
