The story

Originating from the terroirs of Planadas and Gaitania, in the south of the Tolima region, this coffee is cultivated in a high-altitude area very often traversed by clouds. It is from this particularity that its name originates, as « Fábrica » comes from « Cloud Factory ».

We truly fell in love with this coffee, which is part of high-altitude organic production (1600 - 2000 m). The coffee is produced from heirloom varieties such as Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia, a very rare varietal today.

This coffee is produced in two indigenous coffee farmer cooperatives by over 240 families from the NASA WE'SX community, across the terroirs of Planadas and Gaitania. Each family cultivates between 2 and 4 hectares approximately. These terroirs are protected lands where more than 6000 trees can be found per hectare.

This land, along with their commitment to environmental stewardship, makes these communities key players in the production of high-quality organic coffees in Colombia. They have partnered to promote their coffee cultivation, ensure sustainable income for their families, and strengthen their community.

« Coffee is our work, a dignified and essential activity that allows us to meet our needs, create employment, and preserve peace in our territory. It is cultivated with respect for nature, with particular attention paid to each step, from cherry selection to delivery. We produce this coffee with care and commitment, to offer a cup that reflects our environment, our culture, and our collective work. »

Asocanafi was founded in August 2011 with 36 members, indigenous men and women from the community of La Palmera village in the Páez de Gaitania indigenous reserve, with a single objective: to maintain the unity and volunteerism of the community and to revive the famous "community minga" applied to the coffee production system. The idea was born by young people with an entrepreneurial vision who had acquired their knowledge in the city of Ibagué at the University of the Unified National Corporation of Colombia (CUN), and who decided to return and put their knowledge into practice in the field.

Today, Asocanafi is a cooperative of indigenous coffee growers, NASA WE'SX, with more than 170 producer families in the Planadas and Gaitania regions. Each family owns between 2 and 4 hectares. These are protected areas for these indigenous peoples, with more than 6,000 trees per hectare. They are the guardians of one of the largest nature reserves in Colombia. These lands and their belief in protecting Mother Earth make them the best allies for producing one of Colombia's most respectful coffees using organic farming practices. They have joined a number of coffee producer organisations to promote their coffee, provide an income for their families and strengthen their community.

The varieties produced are Castillo, Colombia, Caturra, San Barnardo and Typica. The main harvest (70%) takes place from May to July and the second harvest from October to January. Asocanafi produces around 4,000 70kg bags per year.
