Story

Triangle Accent

This traceable coffee, boasting a vibrant regional profile, originates from the Cooperativa Multiactiva de Asociaciones Agropecuarias del Tolima (Multicoop) association. With 379 producers cultivating small farms in the municipalities of Planadas, Rioblanco, and Chapparal, each producer operates their own micro-mill. Here, they meticulously harvest cherries, depulp, ferment, wash, and gently dry the parchment on raised beds. Their impeccable farm management and post-harvest practices culminate in a clean and consistent blend. However, there are also subtle variations from farm to farm, contributing to the rich complexity of flavors.

For years, Tolima remained largely overlooked amidst other renowned coffee-growing regions. Armed conflict and coca leaf production isolated small coffee producers, exposing them to high rates of violence. As the conflict subsided in recent years, locally organized associations have taken the lead in establishing market access for their coffee. In this region, strategies such as certifications have been instrumental in differentiating coffee in a competitive market.

Story:

Barefoot Coffee Roasters was born in 2003 from a simple idea: treat coffee as a culinary product by delivering seasonal, farm fresh beans with wildly intense flavors.  We travel to origin to find the most conscientious producers and hand select the coffees that take our breath away.. Most of our harvests are purchased from farmers we have known personally for many years, which results in a higher quality product that echoes our beliefs...

We roast with an emphasis on highlighting origin character versus roast character, enabling us to share with you the uniqueness of each coffee's terroir and inherent nuances. We choose flavor descriptors like banana split sundae, guava, chocolate ganache, cola berry and thick dollops of plum molasses because that's what you get with Barefoot Coffee. Are you craving Barefoot Coffee yet?
