Small Producers of San Fermin - Natural - Colombia (Espresso Roast)

In recent years, Planadas has become a hub for coffee production and is now considered one of the top coffee producing regions within Colombia. 

This municipality was established in 1932 by the Spanish Jesuit priest Fermin Larrazabal who at the time guided a group of people from Huila and Antioquia to establish a settlement in a plateau near the river Atá, which is where Planadas is located. Due to his name, Fermin, and in relation to the world-famous San Fermin festivities in Pamplona (Spain) is where this brand gets its name. Both Fermin Larrazabal and the festivities embody aspects which describe the producers from this area: audacity, courage, joy, and togetherness. This region suffered heavily from the internal conflict of Colombia and the guerrilla groups, but even though with this situation the coffee farmers of the area kept pushing forward and with resilience were able to keep producing amazing quality coffee. This municipality is surrounded by mountains of the central cordillera of Colombia and full of creeks and rivers that go down to the Atá River, having great nutritious soils for the production of coffee. Our sourcing partner for this coffee, Caravela has been purchasing coffee in the area in direct relationship with producers since 2007, and in 2013 the brand San Fermin was born with initially 30 producers contributing to it.

This is the second coffee that Maker has purchased from the producers of San Fermin, and we are delighted to offer this beautiful natural processed coffee roasted for Espresso to our customers.
