Campo Santo: Exceptional Coffee from the Heart of Colombia
Nestled between the mountains of Planadas Tolima and El Nevado del Huila in Colombia, Campo Santo is a small farm managed by Aurora Salinas. After her husband Emilio disappeared during the internal conflict, Aurora took charge of the farm in 2008. With the help of her family and neighbours, she has been growing and producing exceptional coffee with great care and dedication. Most of her co-workers are women, proudly maintaining a consistent crop of sweet, fruity, and aromatic coffee year after year. Aurora, a vibrant coffee enthusiast, ensures that her family's dedication to coffee quality continues to improve.
Tolima: A Premier Coffee-Producing Region
Tolima is Colombia's third-largest coffee-producing region, contributing 12% of the country's total coffee output. The province covers 2.3 million hectares, with 108,700 hectares dedicated to coffee cultivation. High-quality soils and abundant natural water streams, flowing from three snow-capped volcanoes with altitudes up to 5,400 meters, produce sweet, medium to full-bodied Arabica coffee with a pronounced aroma, medium acidity, and subtle fruity flavors. Tolima coffees are renowned for their exceptional cup profiles, consistently ranking among the best.
Planadas: A Community Resilient in the Face of Adversity
Planadas, located 252km south of Ibagué, the capital of Tolima, has a population of approximately 36,000, with only 11,000 residing in urban areas. This region has endured the longest presence of FARC guerrillas, but its resilient community has found new hope in specialty coffee, building a future in a post-conflict era. The hard work of associated farmers in Planadas to produce certified, high-quality coffees is gaining global recognition as they reach new markets.
