    HISTORY: 
    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 Papayo Jungle begins with the careful selection of Papayo coffee cherries, a rare and exceptional variety. Handpicked at peak ripeness, the cherries are subjected to a 4-hour aerobic pre-fermentation phase on tarps. This initial stage enhances the coffee’s natural fruity and tropical notes, setting the foundation for its vibrant flavor profile.

    Following pre-fermentation, the cherries are transferred to hermetic tanks placed under shade, where they undergo a 96-hour fermentation process. The controlled environment, with humidity levels maintained between 22-25%, allows for a slow and even fermentation, amplifying the coffee’s complexity. This step highlights the unique tropical qualities of the Papayo variety, producing flavors reminiscent of strawberry, mango, and pomegranate, balanced by a hint of citric acidity and a smooth chocolate undertone.

    Once fermentation is complete, the cherries are mechanically dried for 76 hours. This precise drying method ensures that the beans reach their ideal moisture content, preserving their vibrant and intricate flavors. The controlled drying process is key to maintaining the integrity of the natural process, locking in the exotic notes that define Papayo Jungle.

    To perfect the coffee, the beans are stabilized for 30 days in GrainPro bags. This stabilization phase allows the flavors to harmonize and mature, ensuring a well-rounded and polished cup. The controlled storage environment protects the beans from external factors, guaranteeing that the coffee’s quality is preserved until it reaches the roaster.
