    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 part of our Experimental Lab Project.

    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.

    Last year, we launched our new processing facility and drying patio with the goal of sourcing and processing coffee from the region in order to positively impact a greater number of producers in southern Caldas and northern Tolima.

    We believe in the power of coffee as a tool to change people's lives.
    PROCESS DESCRIPTION: 
    The process begins with the careful selection of Pink Borbon cherries designated for honey processing. The coffee undergoes an anaerobic honey fermentation enriched with tropical fruits and lactobacillus. This stage takes place in stainless steel bioreactors for 48 to 72 hours, where a strictly controlled anaerobic environment allows precise management of microbial activity and flavor development, enhancing complexity and structured sweetness. Following fermentation, the coffee is first dried on patios for 3 to 6 days, allowing gradual moisture reduction under natural conditions. It is then transferred to mechanical silos to complete drying over approximately 2 to 5 additional days, ensuring consistency and optimal moisture levels. Once drying is completed, the coffee undergoes a 20-day stabilization period in plastic bags lined with fique, allowing internal moisture to homogenize and flavors to fully integrate. In the cup, it expresses notes of citrus, yellow fruits, almonds, a liqueur-like character, and a creamy texture.
