Caicedo coffee boasts unique practices that set it apart. The head producer, Elkin, established and maintains a community buying center to purchase coffee bean production from small producers in the town. This initiative allows the coffee beans to be sent abroad to different countries, giving the producers alternatives to just selling to the government.
Additionally, the producers gain access to valuable knowledge about advanced coffee production practices and benefit from a dedicated storage facility. These special practices contribute to the exceptional quality and impact of Caicedo coffee beans.
Caicedo, Antioquia, is a small town in the mountainous region of Colombia’s Antioquia state. Established in 1872 this town is known for its picturesque landscapes, traditional Colombian architecture, and warm community culture. The town sits nestled amidst lush coffee farms, deep green valleys, and misty mountains, offering breathtaking scenery typical of the Andes.
Historically, Caicedo has been a part of the coffee-growing heartland of Colombia, with coffee cultivation playing a vital role in the local economy and way of life. Due to its mountainous terrain, agriculture has always been challenging yet rewarding, and residents have developed a resilient, community-oriented spirit. Coffee farms here often focus on small, artisanal production, with many farmers practicing traditional methods passed down through generations.
Additionally, Caicedo’s remote, less-traveled location offers a tranquil, immersive experience compared to more commercialized coffee regions. For visitors who appreciate nature, there are numerous hiking opportunities around the surrounding mountains and rivers, making it ideal for adventurers.
