High up in the Colombian Andes, where altitudes soar past 2000m and the coffee gets dense and sweet. Inzá is where Colombian culture meets coffee perfection. The region’s coffee has deep roots, and today, it’s thriving thanks to local farmers growing high-quality coffees.
Sourced through Cofinet, a family business with over 80 years in coffee, they’re committed to more than just sourcing. They’re actively building a better future for farmers. Cofinet runs agroforestry initiatives, providing free native trees to farmers to improve soil health and restore biodiversity. Their water conservation efforts focus on natural and honey processing, cutting water use by up to 90% compared to traditional methods. Cofinet also runs a producer internship programme, training farmers in alternative fermentation methods, which allows them to access better premiums for higher-quality coffee.
This coffee comes from smallholder farmers in Inzá, where the average farm is 0.5 to 1.5 hectares. The region is home to the Paez, an indigenous community whose deep connection to the land has shaped farming practices and environmental stewardship. This respect for nature, combined with the altitude and climate, results in a sweet, complex cup.
