ABOUT THE PRODUCER:

Passiflora is washed lot of a few varieties grown in Planadas in Colombia.  Planadas is the largest town in the south of Tolima region, but still isolated and lacking in infrastructure; a cause and result of the narcotics conflicts that have come to define this region. But 35 farming families have banded together with Cedro Alto (developer/exporter/partner) to change that, to build on a culture of coffee growing curiosity, and to repurpose their incredibly rich ecological heritage. Credo Alto is a group of smallholder producers  focused on cup quality, environmental and economic sustainability, and transparency in the supply chain. They achieve these by working vertically from farm to roastery, as a collective organization. Their aim is to incentivise sustainable production of high-quality microlot coffee, achieve prices for farmers that improve their families' quality of life, and add value to roasters though transparency and direct relationships.
