STORY BEHIND – FINCA EL TONTOLO & GERARDO MEJIA:
MY DAD IS THE FIRST PERSON IN OUR REGION WHO STARTED TO CULTIVATE COFFEE WITH CERTIFICATES: FAIR TRADE AND ORGANIC.
I am convinced that modern technology can help us create a better and fairer world. Coffee farmers from my generation know that people in wealthy countries pay twice as much for a single cup of coffee in their favorite bar than what many people in my country can spend in an entire day for their rent, education, health care, food, and clothes…!
This is why I am so happy that Cafesmo is part of the Algrano platform. It allows us to connect with roasters, work with them directly, understand their needs and learn from one another. At the same time, we receive a fairer price for our beans than we would otherwise.
Once the coffee is picked and depulped, we bring it to Cafesmo for drying and preparation, because the Cafesmo team has a lot of experience. But we make sure to pick only the ripest beans for our best batches, to achieve a consistent, clean profile. This is how we are able to produce stable, premium lots with Cafesmo’s help.
