Javier Gasca - Biochar (Colombia) - Javier has farmed coffee for over 30 years in El Naranjal, in southern Huila, Colombia. On his two-hectare farm, El Limón (1,450–1,600 m.a.s.l.), he grows Colombia, Cenicafé 1, and Castillo Tambo. Coffee farming is a family tradition and his life’s work, with harvest still centered on hand-selecting ripe cherries. He uses a washed process with 24-hour fermentation and slow sun-drying in a marquesina. With a focus on quality and sustainability, Javier practices low-intervention farming and recently joined the Biochar Program, improving soil health, resilience, and environmental impact.

Julio Bermudez - La Palma y El Tucán (Colombia) – Julio Bermudez farms coffee at El Refugio in Colombia’s Cundinamarca region at 1650 MASL. What began as a hobby project soon became a family passion, and today Julio is a longtime participant in La Palma y El Tucan’s Neighbors & Crops program, founded by Futura co-founders Felipe and Elisa. This coffee undergoes a fully washed lactic acid fermentation, creating a sweet, caramel-like profile with a creamy mouthfeel. We are especially proud to share this coffee because El Refugio is part of our Biodiversal program, which supports regenerative farming practices that improve soil health, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability for coffee producers and their communities.

El Diamante (Guatemala) Flobrecio Villatoro farms coffee in the highlands of
Huehuetenango, Guatemala, at his farm El Diamante (1,750–1,840 masl). Raised in a family of respected producers, he began with a small plot from his father and has grown El Diamante into a quality-recognized farm through resilience and dedication. Today, he works alongside his wife Lesvia and their children.
This fully washed lot blends Bourbon and Caturra, offering white grape and apricot notes with soft honey sweetness and a clean, expressive finish. El Diamante reflects decades of learning, family collaboration, and a deep commitment to the land and community.
In addition, 3% of Futura’s sales are dedicated to supporting regenerative agriculture projects in Colombia through our sister brand, Biodiversal. We've contributed to bean and cassava harvests for over 50 coffee-growing families in Tolima and Cundinamarca and supported Biochar initiatives benefiting more than 70 families in Pitalito, Huila.
