Specialty coffee from Colombia San Sebastian
The Arciniegas family runs this 22-hectare farm, where 50 people work during the harvest season.
They belong to the Forestal company, which includes three other farms that share the same values. They are coffee farmers who live on the land they cultivate with their families and are direct beneficiaries of the project's economic results. They state on their website that "every FORESTAL coffee bean consumed around the world brings prosperity to our people."
They believe that forests provide optimal conditions for the natural development of coffee.
They consider themselves micro-roasters and coffee growers, Colombian and Santanderean, coffee artisans, and have their own chain of stores in Colombia.
We have our own roasting and cupping projects, which is why at Forestal we provide spaces within our stores to share the best of our Colombian coffee farmers.
