Cóndor has partnered with local San Agustín farmers for over more than 30 years; together pioneering the commercialization of specialty coffee throughout the region. This has included the establishment of ‘Club San Agustín’, which identifies the top quality producers via an annual cupping competition. Cóndor’s work and operations in San Agustín have been proved over the years: based on direct relationships and sourcing from individual farmers, including the provision of technical services for improved agricultural practices, and a strong focus on cup quality. Of these growers, approximately 80% are cultivating coffee on less than 3 hectares of land. These small farms are tended by family only, leading to more thorough and intensive management practices, and great pride in the final product.
