Originating from the terroirs of Planadas and Gaitania, south of the Tolima region, this coffee is grown in a high-altitude area that is often crossed by clouds. It is from this particularity that its name derives its origin, since "Fábrica" comes from "Cloud factory". We really fell in love with this coffee, which is part of a high-altitude organic production (1600 - 2000 m). The coffee is produced from old varieties such as bourbon, typica, caturra, castillo and colombia, which is very rare today. The main harvest takes place from May to June (70%) and the mitaca is from October to January (30%).
THE CAFE FABRICA PROJECT Locally, the climatic conditions are very difficult due to a relative humidity of nearly 95% all year round, one of the highest rates in the country. As you will have understood, mastering the drying of green coffee is all the more strategic in this area.
