    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 Guava Banana coffee begins with the careful selection of ripe Red and Yellow Caturra cherries, ensuring exceptional quality from the renowned El Vergel Estate in Fresno, Tolima, managed by farmers Elías and Shady Bayter. The beans undergo a 48 to 60-hour anaerobic fermentation, which enhances their unique flavor profile. Initially dried in the sun on raised beds in a "Marquesina" until they reach 30% moisture, the beans then move to mechanical drying in circular dryers at temperatures below 45°C until they achieve 18%-16% moisture. After a pre-stabilization stall to intensify flavors, the drying process is completed mechanically until optimal moisture is achieved. The beans are then stabilized for 45 days in GrainPro bags, ensuring consistency and quality. This meticulous natural anaerobic process results in a rich and complex flavor profile with notes of chocolate, plum, guava, red fruits, citric acid, and tangerine. Guava Banana coffee exemplifies the expertise and dedication in coffee processing, offering a distinctive and delightful coffee experience.
