We are excited to share with you a brand new coffee from the producer Antonio Niño. Don Antonio hails from the misty mountains of the Cundinamarca region of Colombia. He is a perfect example of a coffee producer that has been working on his craft for over 40 years, coffee production is truly in his blood and his hands show the signs of the hard work and dedication it takes to be successful in this profession. El Placer is situated at 1700 MASL, or roughly 5500 feet of elevation and stretches out over a compact 4 hectares (almost 10 acres), a very common size for a small holder in this area. The farm boasts over 12,000 coffee trees of Castillo, Colombia and Typica varieties. Don Antonio took over the farm a couple of years ago, it was the perfect opportunity for him to use his skill and knowledge in a new project. Incorporating biodiversity and regenerative practices, Don Antonio is committed to using sustainable practices in all aspects of his farm such as composting and forgoing the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. At Futura, we are committed to sourcing coffee from producers like Antonio who are committed to furthering the practice of Regenerative Agriculture. Antonio is a proud participant in the Neighbors & Crops program at our sibling company, La Palma y El Tucan as well as Biodiversal in Colombia. These programs are vital to ensure the continued success of small farmers in the industry as well as ensuring there is a future for coffee. Thank you so much for your support! You are an integral part of the future of coffee and the future of our world!
