HISTORY: 
At Forest Coffee, we’re committed to climate action and to empowering Colombian coffee communities. Our Reforest Project is a hands-on approach to countering the effects of climate change on coffee farming, promoting sustainability through tree-planting and building community resilience.

Facing Climate Challengs in Colombian Coffee

Colombia’s coffee-growing regions have endured severe droughts, leading to reduced production and compromised quality. With farmers facing rising costs and struggling to sustain their livelihoods, it’s clear that action is needed to protect the future of Colombian coffee.

The Reforest Project: Planting Seeds of Change

Our Reforest Project has the objective of planting 50,000 native trees throughout the northern Tolima and South of Caldas regions in Colombia. Starting with an initial 200 trees on the farms of 30 local coffee producers near El Vergel Estate, our farm located in Fresno, Tolima, we’re working to revitalize coffee landscapes and foster a healthier ecosystem. Through reforestation and sustainable farming practices, we’re building resilience to climate change while empowering coffee growers to adapt to evolving environmental conditions. This initiative offers a hopeful vision for the future of coffee in Colombia.

Join us in building a sustainable future for coffee in Colombia. Supporting the Reforest Project means directly preserving Colombia’s coffee heritage and strengthening coffee-growing communities. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: 
The process begins with the meticulous selection of ripe Caturra, Colombia & Castillo cherries, which are first subjected to a 24-hour anaerobic pre-fermentation. This stage promotes even ripening and enhances the coffee’s sweetness.

Following this, coffee is depulped at El Vergel washing station to remove the cascara to then be washed mechanically to start drying phase using mechanical silos for four days.

This method ensures a consistent moisture level while preserving the coffee’s bright acidity and rich sweetness. To lock in its optimal flavor, Reforest Washed is then stabilized for 30 days in GrainPro bags, allowing the flavors to mature and harmonize.
