COFFEES OF EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN
The coffee industry is full of extraordinary women who, from the field to the commercialization, do a monumental task that is not always visible. The coffee you are enjoying passed through the hands of all of them who grew, processed, selected, cupped, roasted and brought it to you.
Our series will explore different origins, profiles and women through new micro lots of coffee.
Andrea Cano
Andrea is pure joy! She is full of courage and conviction. Nothing is impossible for this extraordinary woman, driving her Jeep loaded with coffee or the motorcycle with passengers on board up the steep hills of San Rafael, Apía - Risaralda. She transformed the family lands into a farm of special coffees. She harvests, ferments and dries naturals, honeys and washed lots of exceptional quality. The farm is incredibly beautiful, with infinite landscapes where her two children grow up surrounded by love. She is the head of the household, a businesswoman and a committed daughter. Andrea's coffee transmits that strength with a creamy body, intense chocolate and very particular notes of nuts and tropics.
