"Chapoleras" - 100% Produced by Women

The “Chapolera” microlot is produced entirely by women farmers — Maria Elena Pulgarín, Noralba Benítez, and Lina Restrepo, in Apía, Risaralda. Each brings decades of dedication and recognition in Colombian coffee, united by meticulous practices: selective cherry picking, extended fermentations, and solar drying that enhance complexity and sweetness.
