Huila, Colombia
This lot comes from Pitalito and Acevedo in Huila, Colombia, grown at 1,700 - 1,900 masl by families who embody the spirit of the campesino. The word means “farmer,” but it reflects something deeper: a cultural identity rooted in land, tradition, and community. In these regions, coffee farming blends ancestral knowledge with sustainable practices that protect forests and water sources. Thanks to the mindful work of growers committed to harmony with nature, many areas are seeing the return of wildlife once lost, and farms have become vibrant, resilient places shaped by care for future generations.
The name C-Campesino points to a broader conversation about moving beyond the C Market and challenging the view of coffee as just another commodity. It invites the industry to look past a single reference price and recognize the true value behind each bag: the labor, knowledge, risk, and dedication of the producers, along with the commitment of roasters who pursue quality and long-term partnership. The intention is to spark questions and encourage a more thoughtful, fair way of valuing coffee.
