The Project:
Located in Planadas, Tolima, an area historically scarred by conflict and recognised as the birthplace of Colombian coffee, Emmanuel, a dedicated coffee grower, embarked on a project.

In 2016, along with his family, he founded a coffee processing centre with the aim of providing support to more than 15 communities, making it easier for local coffee growers to process the bean. Forest Coffee and Emmanuel joined forces in 2019 to create the Black Condor Project, with the mission of supporting farmers affected by years of armed conflict in Gaitania. This initiative is more than just a coffee project: it is a commitment to empower small-scale producers through education, infrastructure and fair prices.

In a region historically dependent on coca production to sustain an unstable and dangerous drug economy, our friends at Forest Coffee saw a unique opportunity: to harness the area's agricultural base, leverage its incredible natural resources and empower the community to forge a new path towards the future.

This project provides farmers with access to vital resources such as:

A central washing station and processing facility, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency.

Training workshops focused on fermentation, drying and cupping, so that farmers can perfect their craft, taste their coffee and understand the desirable flavours that international markets are looking for, and in this way truly understand the value of their coffee.

Fair prices, whereby farmers receive between 18 % and 20 % above the market price, ensuring economic stability and long-term sustainability.
