Story

Triangle Accent

This special regenerative coffee has notes of brown sugar, berries, and orange with hints of cacao nibs.

FARM INFO
This Regenerative coffee is sourced from family-owned farms organized around ASOTBILBAO, a producer association with 50 members who live in Bilbao within the municipality of Planadas in the department of Tolima. Members of ASOTBILBAO are graduates of Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje SENA. SENA is a non-governmental educational institution that provides social and technical education to its participants. The average age of members of ASOTBILBAO is 35 years old and in collaboration with an exporting company called Mastercol, coordinate efforts to improve the quality of coffee including technical support to guide coffee farmers on the best agricultural practices for quality coffee production and wither investments in projects focused on the improvement of coffee farm infrastructure. 

For many years Tolima has remained hidden in plain sight between other well-known coffee growing regions because armed conflict and coca leaf production isolated small coffee producers and exposed them to high rates of violence.  As conflict has subsided in recent years, locally organized associations have taken the lead in creating market access for their coffee.  Strategies like certifications have dominated this region's ability to differentiate coffee in a competitive market.  It’s no surprise that Tolima’s associations have taken the lead on regenerative practices, the newest of the certification trends in coffee.

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.
