    HISTORY: 
    These coffees are cultivated by Colombian coffee farmers from the regions of Tolima, Huila, and Caldas. Depending on the harvest season, cherries are sourced from these regions to ensure the freshest crops, then transported and processed at our farm, El Vergel Estate.

    Our agricultural journey began in 1995, and in 2010 we started cultivating coffee at El Vergel Estate in Tolima. By 2015, we had successfully harvested our first varietals.

    In 2017, after facing challenges in the local market, Martha, Shady, and Elias set out to find innovative ways to add value to their coffees and close the gap between producers and roasters.

    Forest Coffee was founded in 2019 with a vision to unlock the true potential of Colombian coffee through innovation in processing, education, and sustainability. Our mission is to connect coffee growers directly with international markets, ensuring fair pricing and full transparency.

    Today, in 2025, Forest Coffee has grown into a thriving network of 250 coffee-growing families, four major projects across Colombia, a dedicated team of 25+, and a global community of partners and roasters.

    Our story is a testament to how innovation and community can transform the coffee industry for the better.
    PROCESS DESCRIPTION: 
    The journey of Cinnamon Slide begins with a carefully crafted blend of Colombia, Caturra, and Castillo coffee varieties, cultivated by Colombian farmers in the country’s high-altitude regions, depending on the harvest season. The cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness and transported to El Vergel Estate, where they are processed and undergo a 24-hour pre-fermentation in cherry.

    After pre-fermentation, the cherries are depulped and washed before being placed into hermetic plastic tanks for 96 hours of anaerobic fermentation co-fermented with cinnamon. This innovative co-fermentation technique intensifies the flavor profile while highlighting the coffee’s natural sweetness, complexity, and aromatic depth. The controlled fermentation environment ensures consistency and protects the distinct attributes of the blend.

    Once fermentation is complete, the beans are mechanically dried in silos for 3–4 days, reaching the ideal moisture level. To finalize the process, the coffee is stabilized for 30 days in GrainPro bags, allowing the flavors to harmonize and mature until the beans reach 12% moisture content, perfectly prepared for export.
