This Colombian bean is produced by the ASOBRIS producer association (Asociación de Productores Agrícolas Ecológico y Pecuarios Brisas del Quebradon) in Tolima and Planadas. Though small (42 current members), this association has made great strides in increasing productivity through sustainable agricultural practices and improving social conditions not only for their members, but their community as a whole.

The Castillo, Caturra, Colombia, and Typica varieties are cultivated between 1200 - 15000 meters above sea level. Once they’re mechanically de-pulped, they are fermented for 18 to 24 hours. After fermentation, the beans are washed, wet-milled, and initially patio-dried for two weeks before being transferred to solar dryers for consistent moisture removal.

The ecosystem surrounding the volcano Tolima is rich with volcanic soil, which holds onto moisture, drains destructive water and facilitates organic drainage, making it amazing for coffee bean plants. Even after 4,000 years since the last eruption, nutrients consisting of potassium, nitrogen, and boron–important for strong cellular walls and flower/fruit production–fill Tolima's volcanic soil.
