Ana comes from a coffee-producing family in Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia. This area is known as the Coffee Axis of Colombia as it produces a lot of the country's coffee. Groovy. Ana’s family owns and manages three farms around the town of Pereira.
She runs the LaREB cooperative with the support of Herbert and other great producers to support smaller or less experienced members with the production of specialty coffee. They also export coffee directly from the farmers which secures the supply chain and transfers more value back to its producers.
In an area of Colombia typically known for commodity coffee, Ana took it upon herself to transform the harvesting, separation and processing of beans to start producing high-value, specialty coffees.
Up until very recently, coffee production on the Mustafá family farms has always been high-volume commercial coffees, yet her interest in specialty coffee drove her to start producing specialty-grade lots on her farms to improve the quality of her products. Go Ana.
She is a real testament to female leadership in coffee and pushing forward on quality and innovation. As a result, we get to enjoy this wonderful coffee.
With notes of strawberry jam, vanilla and chocolate, roasted to a medium light profile, you'll have to drink this coffee with care as it'll cause an ALPACAlypse.
We hope you enjoyed learning about Ana and the story behind our delicious Colombia Mustafa. Grab a bag now!
