Indigenous people export Good Quality Coffee

The Arhucos export coffee today to Canada, Europe and Japan. The project was possible thanks to the help from the agency Caja de Herramientas.

The Arhuco people and Tayrona Indigenous Confederation export coffee from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (snowed peak) through sustainable methods, which translated in its obtaining the organic product certification from the French firm Eco-Cert. The economic gain from the product will benefit the indigenous community directly.

Oh I absolutely LOVE coffee beans from South America and Africa. I buy the green beans from a local store around the corner that sells varities from all over the world and roast them when I get home. I mainly buy Ethiopian Yergacheffe.

I'll look into picking some coffee beans up when we head to South America.

Great Coffee... and the one we buy is Café Sierra Nevada. The coffee mentioned as grown by the Arhuaco's is Condor de la Sierra. No chemicals whatsoever. The best coffee I have ever tasted next to true Jamacian Blue Mountain.
We occasionally by some when we go to Santa Marta but it is expensive, especially by Colombian standards. I think Mrs. Gator paid something like 55.000 pesos a kilo.

Best Colombian Coffee Hails from Chichina, Caldas.

I never drink coffee that doesn't say 100% Colombian. If a cofeeshop doesn't have Colombian coffee, then I move on to the next.
