Description
COLOMBIA LA GAITANA
The 32 producers of our La Gaitana beans are members of the Asociación de Productores Agrícolas de Timaná (ASPRO Timaná), a coffee producer association in Huila, Colombia. The association was founded in 2002 by 45 farmers and has expanded to include 405 producers and their families. In 2004 ASPRO Timaná was the recipient of a donation by a UK specialty roaster. This funding was the catalyzer of a quality-oriented strategy that positioned ASPRO Timaná as a high-quality player in the Colombian coffee world.
The municipality of Timaná is located in the south of Huila, one of the most important coffee regions in Colombia. Timaná was founded by Pedro de Añazco. The town is known as ‘Villa de la Gaitana’ – Gaitana was a female native who led the Timaná Tribe against the Spanish conquistadors in 16th century.
