About this coffee
This coffee was imported by LaReb (La Real Expedición Botánica), a radical producer-owned export co-operative/movement. LaReb's stated goal is ,"to develop de-colonised supply chains and operate outside the typical multinational pathways of coffee". Herbert and his team leverage their own experience alongside the vast pool of collective knowledge across the coffee chain (areas such as financing, quality, export and import are thoroughly covered in the LaReb membership) to enable members are able to define their own terms of engagement. As La Reb warehouse coffees in Belfast (at The Roastworks) we've been fortunate enough to taste their coffees alongside them whilst learning more about their mission and values.
Marisela Sánchez has set the standard on the family estate for a long time, and this is why their coffees have long been valued within the specialty coffee world.
The Sánchez family have a small “estate” in El Portal, Palestina; land was granted to Marisela’s parents by the Colombian government in the 1950s, and they have been growing coffee in this area ever since. Located in Huila, this region is world renowned for the excellent coffee that it produces.
