Coffee Growing Regions
Along the almost 3,000 kilometers of inter-Andean valleys, from the southern end to the northern tip of Colombia, more than half a million coffee families live on small farms or plots, whose coffee crops, on average, do not exceed two hectares. Their solidarity, commitment, search for the common good and sustainable development, form a social and strategic capital and a model of peace for Colombia. They are dedicated to transmitting the best of themselves in their artisanship. In order to appreciate a cup of Colombian coffee, it is important to know the work and effort of these families.
Guardians of the Coffee Tradition
Colombian coffee growers are the soul of our coffee! Their values and dedication are the inspiration behind Juan Valdez. They are united by democracy and solidarity, keeping tradition alive across generations. Young growers are ensuring that this legacy of excellence endures, delivering to us The Heart of Specialty Coffee!
