Terroir N°1 - Entre Sierras - Colombia
The Entre Sierras cooperative of coffee farmers was established in 2018 in the foothills of the Perijá mountains in the Valle del Cesar, in the very north of Colombia, where the majestic Andes Mountains are formed.
Plantations have long been abandoned in this area due to numerous armed conflicts. The population was forced to flee and abandon their farms. Returning a few years later, with the admirable intention of rebuilding their communities, they reinvested in these plots which belong to them and restarted coffee production.
The members of the cooperative share an associative vision of coffee growing and make their decisions democratically and transparently, whether these be commercial or financial. Their aim is to provide a better quality of life for their members and a brighter future for generations to come.
Under the shade of wild coffee forests, 385 hectares of certified organic coffee is grown by 28 farmers.
The region
The plantations are located at altitudes between 1200 and 1800 m. An altitude that has proven to be particularly suited to growing organic coffee.
Coffee trees growing under shade in coffee forests cannot be equated with large monoculture plantations. This atypical and isolated area is where the Colombia and Castillo varieties are grown.

Terroir N°2 - Yungas, Aymara - Bolivia
As global warming was already on the rise, the lack of trees used to make the work much more difficult, as the farmers would be exhausted by the sun. The cooperatives were made aware of the damage they were causing to their environment and how implementing a reforestation project would stop this negative impact.
By reforesting the plantations, the coffee trees would no longer be stressed by excessive heat and lack of water, the farmers would no longer be exposed to the direct heat of the sun and having perennial plantations would guarantee a better future for their children.
As the need was obvious, it was not difficult to convince the farmers to implement this approach, and so the Aymara project began.
The region
Yungas is a Quechua word meaning ‘Warm Lands’. This geographical area is a forested valley in western Bolivia. A transition zone between the Andean highlands and the eastern forests, it is characterised by its warm, tropical and rainy climate.
The famous “Yungas Road”, also known as “Death Road”, links La Paz to Coroico across 80 kilometres.
