History and traceability

The story

This coffee is a blend of Typica, Caucai, Bourbon and Castillo grown by small producers in the Loja region of Ecuador.

These plantations are located in the high mountain areas of the southeast region of the Loja region. They are agroforestry production systems that combine soil conservation, water conservation and biodiversity of terrestrial species and birds.

The coffee is produced by the Asociación de Producción Cafetalera del Sur Oriente de la Provincia de Loja, PROCAFEQ, and exported by the exporter FAPCAFES, which was founded by the association.

The association was legally created in 2001, and was the first to implement the washed coffee process in the region. In 2002, it began the process of organic certification, fair trade and coffee quality certification.

Here, coffee plantations are small farms averaging 1 hectare per grower. Only the coffee produced is sold, the rest being used to grow their own food.

FAPECAFES (Federación Regional de Asociaciones de Pequeños Cafetaleros Ecológicos del Sur) is a non-profit organisation set up in 2002 to facilitate access to the coffee market for small farmers. It has around 1,200 members, 95% of whom are small producers in the provinces of El Oro, Loja and Zamora-Chinchipe. The association is Fairtrade and organic certified. The coffee is grown with respect for people and nature.
