About This Coffee
Jorge “Pikudo” Andrade transitioned to coffee farming after the Venezuelan economic crisis disrupted his fruit business along the border region. Relocating to Huila, he connected with with Orlando Sanchez, a member of the LaREB collective; who provided him with Rosado and Gesha seeds. LaREB recognized Pikudo’s exceptional potential - high-altitude (2000 MASL!), good shade management, and careful techniques. We think this Gesha is an absolute stunner, finding it both intensely jammy, floral yet marvellously clean. Part of our LCF special release series. LaREB- La Real Expedición Botánica - are a radical producer-owned export co-operative/movement. Their goal is to develop de-colonised supply chains and operate outside the typical multinational pathways of coffee. By pooling together collective knowledge, financing, quality, export and import, LaReb members are able to define their own terms of engagement. CDNT emerged from eight producers in northern Tolima who chose to build their own response to falling incomes and youth migration from coffee farming. Using Herbert Peñaloza's 575 farm as their base, they've established a practical blueprint for producer-driven change: a shared quality lab, new variety trials, and an agroforestry system for soil improvement.
