70% of this blend is made up of Familia Rodríguez from Colombia’s Nariño region. This coffee was produced by four brothers – Jairo, Ulpiano (pictured), Alirio and Luis Omar Rodríguez – whose family left the area in the 1990s due to the conflict between the government and FARC guerrillas. In the early 2000s, the brothers were able to return to their farm and plant it with coffee. They have since found specialty coffee to be a sustainable and secure source of income for their families.
In Bolivia, Pedro Rodriguez and his family have been working for years to build a market for specialty coffee. As well as running training programs for smallholder producers, the family has 12 farms of their own. El Fuerte, which makes up 30% of this espresso, was grown in the town of Samaipata. Recognising the area’s coffee- growing potential, Pedro planted El Fuerte farm in 2013 and soon discovered that coffee thrived there, producing a distinctive and exceptional cup profile.
