To welcome our participants, we have prepared a very special gift: a unique coffee for this event, produced by the SMEs that are part of our beneficiaries.
Each cup of this coffee represents the effort and passion of these SMEs, which are dedicated to growing high quality beans in different regions of Latin America.
More than a detail, it is a reflection of a sustainable production model that drives local development, promotes good practices and generates opportunities for communities. By sharing it, we want to make its unique aroma and flavour known, while joining the story of those who produce it with so much commitment.
All of these coffee producers have benefited from the project ".Business School"implemented as part of Component 1 of the AL-INVEST Verde programme.
Our producers
Café Altísimo
Ten years ago, Julián Enrique Gómez Quintero, an electronics engineer from Medellín, decided to swap the city for the countryside in the municipality of Guarne. A territory without a strong coffee-growing tradition, but at the same time a 2,130 metres above sea level, he discovered that the altitude offered a unique advantage: coffees of extraordinary quality. This is how Café Altísimo was born, a project that unites technical knowledge and respect for the environment.
Aromas of Salgar
Jaider is the creator of Aromas de Salgar, a speciality coffee with more than 84 points in cupping, recognised for its quality and consistency. Its model combines circular economy, clean agriculture and accessible technologies.
Café Don Martín
Café Don Martín is a tribute to our ancestor Martín Bustamante, a man of honour who sowed in us the passion for coffee and the strength of a family tradition that is still alive today.
We are involved in every stage of the process, from planting to packaging, to guarantee a high quality product, with an exceptional flavour and aroma which reflect our land.
