Organic Hemp Coffee Fusion

ASOBOMBO is a cooperative of smallholder coffee farmers based in southern Huila, Colombia, particularly around Pitalito and neighboring communities . Rather than operating as a single estate, the cooperative brings together family-run farms located throughout Huila’s mountainous coffee-growing landscape. Many producers cultivate coffee on relatively small plots at high elevations, where cool temperatures, abundant rainfall, and mineral-rich volcanic soils create favorable conditions for growing high-quality Arabica coffee.

Coffee farming in this region is closely tied to generations of family agriculture. Producers carefully manage varieties such as Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia , with participating organic farmers following certified organic cultivation practices. The mountainous terrain and fertile soils provide good drainage while supporting healthy coffee development, and the high elevations contribute to slower cherry maturation.

During harvest, ripe coffee cherries are selectively picked by hand and typically processed using the washed method . Cherries are pulped, fermented, washed, and carefully dried before the coffee is prepared for export. Through ASOBOMBO, smallholder farmers gain access to shared resources, certification support, quality programs, and international specialty coffee markets.

The coffee represents the collective work of farming families across southern Huila rather than a single farm. Their combination of high-altitude cultivation, mineral-rich volcanic soils, organic farming practices, careful harvesting, and traditional washed processing reflects the strong coffee-growing heritage of the region.

This coffee is sourced from Finca Las Camelias , a family-owned coffee farm located in the highlands of Jinotega, Nicaragua . In this lush mountainous region, small-scale farmers cultivate their coffee under partial shade, alongside native trees and biodiversity-friendly plantings, creating a balanced ecosystem that supports soil health and sustainable organic production. The farm’s soils are clay-mineral rich volcanic soils , providing essential nutrients and excellent drainage for Arabica coffee, and the high-altitude terrain (1,000–1,100 meters) with cool nights and abundant rainfall allows cherries to ripen slowly, developing complex flavors.

Coffee at Finca Las Camelias is carefully hand-harvested during peak season. The ripe cherries are processed on-site using a combination of machine and sun-drying methods , ensuring that the unique terroir of Jinotega is reflected in every cup. The beans are then sorted and milled to meet export standards, maintaining consistency, quality, and traceability. This lot represents the dedication, craftsmanship, and ecological stewardship of the farm, offering an organic coffee that highlights the bright citrus, dark chocolate, and hazelnut notes characteristic of this highland Nicaraguan region.

Founded in 1989, ASOBAGRI (Asociación Barillense de Agricultores) is one of Guatemala’s most respected and progressive coffee cooperatives. Based in the remote town of Santa Cruz Barillas in the highlands of Huehuetenango , this cooperative represents over 1,200 smallholder producers , the majority of whom are indigenous Q’anjob’al Maya . These families have been cultivating coffee for generations using traditional and organic methods that are deeply rooted in cultural heritage and environmental stewardship.

ASOBAGRI was established to empower local farmers by providing fair market access, technical support, and community development. It is committed to organic and Fair Trade practices, promoting sustainable farming and improving the livelihood of its members. The coop emphasizes gender equity and supports a special women’s program called Café de Mujeres , which focuses on coffee produced exclusively by women members to enhance economic independence and recognition within the coffee value chain.

ASOBAGRI operates its own wet and dry mills, quality control lab, and export logistics — ensuring full traceability and consistency from farm to final cup. The cooperative also invests in reforestation, clean water initiatives, education, and training to build a better future for its members and the land they care for.

ASOBAGRI’s dedication to quality and sustainability has earned it a reputation for producing some of the finest certified organic coffees from Guatemala — characterized by vibrant acidity, rich body, and notes of chocolate, spice, and citrus.
