This is Fred saying goodbye to our team.

Visiting coffee farms we enjoy the encounters with the playful Mimosa Pudica, known in Colombia as “Dormilona”, “No me toques” or “Vergonzosa.
This super exotic plant is sensitive to touch because of a rapid electrical-signal-driven water movement in specialised cells at the base of the leaves causing them to move as a defence mechanism from potential plant eaters like insects.
Traditionally, it has beeb used to cure urinary and vaginal infections, diabetes, fever and skin problems. And more importantly, it’s been used as an antidote for venomous snakes bites and scorpions stings.
The Coffee Master has seen this plant everywhere even in lowlands like the Orinoquía where he made this video near Yopal in Casanare.
So, if you come to visit coffee growing regions in Colombia look down… The “No me toques” could be just under your feet!

We love kitchens from coffee farms in Colombia. This is the kitchen of the Matoma family in Planadas, Tolima. This region in the middle of the Andes mountains produces approximately 13.8% of the production in our country.
We currently have the last sacks of a Natural processed Caturra produced by Jeferson Olaya in his farm El Tesoro from Planadas. Expect distinct floral notas landing perfectly well on Cacao notes.

On December 6th, Colombia commemorates La Matanza de las Bananeras (The Banana Massacre), a tragedy later echoed by Gabriel García Márquez in famous book “One Hundred Years of Solitude”.
In 1928, thousands of banana workers employed by the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita) gathered in Ciénaga, near Santa Marta, to demand basic labour rights: an 8-hour workday, payment in cash instead of food vouchers, formal contracts, safer conditions, and access to social security.
Under pressure from the U.S. government, the Colombian government ordered military action against the strikers. The result was a massacre that exposed severe labour exploitation and foreign influence in the region. For many Colombians, the Chiquita brand still evokes the memory of those lives lost.
Nearly a century later, the echoes of that violence remain.
In 2024, a U.S. federal jury found Chiquita liable for financing the AUC, a Colombian paramilitary group responsible for the killings of innocent farmers. The company was ordered to pay $38.3 million to victims’ families—an important step toward accountability in international human rights law.
This history is painful, but remembering it honours the workers who stood up for dignity in 1928 and the more recent victims of violence. Their stories deserve to be known, acknowledged, and never forgotten.
