About Smallholder producers of Colombia
In the Huila region of Colombia, an average coffee grower has about 1.5 hectares of land and produces around 50 bags of coffee annually. Every Saturday during harvest season, he or she will bring in the current pick--maybe 10 bags worth--to be sold as best they can. Many times, these growers are barely able to break even, despite all their hard work.
That’s why specialty coffee importer Cafe Imports has masterminded an exciting new project. They pay premiums for these farmers’ coffees based on cup scores, then bulk the lots together to make full containers of delicious, rich chocolatey Colombian coffee under the Gran Galope blend label. The farmers fare better and coffee lovers the world over get to enjoy their careful labor. Gran Galope--Full Gallop. Grab a cup and gallop proudly into your day!
