| Our story |
The micro-lot La Florida is located near El Diamante village within the municipality of San Antonio, Tolima
La Florida is at an altitude of 1,768 meters above sea level where the coffee plants have natural access to the abundant spring water from the neighbouring mountains.
The Rincon family has run the farm for generations since the days a great-grandaunt of the family started its first coffee nursery in the 1920s.
Nowadays, the farm is currently operated by four members of the same household who beautifully maintain and manage not only the coffee business but the lands surrounding it.
Teresa, Ruth, Orfiria and Rodrigo are the coffee growers who run the entire beneficio process from the manual collection of the ripe coffee cherries, removing the pulp, fermenting the beans (usually 12-16 hours), and finally washing and sun-drying the beans 10-15 days until their moisture content reaches 12%.
Wherever you look at the family's villa, you'll find Orquidea pots and a hot cup Tinto, the national name for a black cup of coffee, being offered.
Their pets are Lulu the donkey who helps to carry the coffee beans to the main town, a mutt called Estrella to welcome visitors and the parrots' Laura and Rebecca. They are the self-appointed CCTV cameras warning when Lulu is eating the coffee beans or Estrella getting into the workers' meals.
Money earnt in this farm is re-invested to maintain healthy soils and to continually improve methods of sustainable coffee production, such as acquiring new sun-drying beds, buying new machines to pulp cherries and buying fertilizers or seeds.
The Rincon family store their coffee for us and advise us as soon as it is ready to be collected by Montier's team to continue with the processing process.
There is no doubt that quality and close communication is taken seriously by everybody.
The Rincon family believe that despite the economic or political circumstances, there is always a solution through constant work and education. That results will always be worth the effort. Through passion and dedication, they have maintained the farm and therefore, their family unity for generations.
Teresa, the matriarch of the family, has gone above and beyond her hard work at the farm and organized a village women's club of coffee growers to raise funds and implement a significant scale coffee production facility. Teresa is the embodiment of entrepreneurship, integrity, and honesty, and we believe she is the true el diamante of the village.
Among other produce, there are crops of cassava, pineapple, plantain and of course, coffee!
