Bocadillo: b4101b

Land is never owned, just managed. Our lease is temporary, as nature does not answer to the time of humans. We do not control it, we cannot turn the inherent chaos into order. Our job is to embrace it, manage it, and deliver the outputs. Thus, it requires love and enjoyement. The will to follow the process. If a farm has guavas, it is called 'Los Guayabos'. If it has limes, 'Los Limones' then. And if you find tasty oranges, 'Los Naranjos' of course. Why not naming a dairy farm 'El Queso'? Or a cabbage farm 'Kimchi'? This is our future, a land of transformation and little bites. The possibility to portray our vision into the soil itself. This is El Bocadillo.

Originally founded as a way to sell roasted coffee to the local market, under R&D head Herbert Peñaloza Correa, the family has expanded to exporting green to the international market.

Yellow Tabi grown by 575 using biological methods at 1850masl in Casbianca, Tolima at Bocadillo; hand-picked and sorted for ripeness; pulped; fermented for two days in barrels; washed; dried in the sun and in silos.

The local market price for this coffee was 2.3m COP/carga at the time that this coffee was purchased; at a factor of 90, this translates to $3.06 per lb as the base price. Exotic varieties like gesha, regardless of cup quality, command a premium due to their lower productivity and relative rarity. Our costs for evaluation, marketing and distribution are deducted from the final sale price, with the proceeds split 50/50 between B Sides and the producer.
