〜ABOUT LAS PERLITAS〜
"Las Perlitas" is a collection of excellent micro lots from small producers, born from farms located at altitudes of 1,600 to 2,000 meters. As the name, which means "little pearls" in Spanish, suggests, the aim is to highlight the efforts of producers who produce extremely high-quality coffee in small quantities. There are many producers in Colombia who produce excellent coffee that surpasses large-scale lots, even though they are small in scale, but in many cases they are unable to produce an export lot on their own.
〜ABOUT COLOMBIAN COFFEE CULTURE〜
For decades, Colombia's coffee industry was monopolized by the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation and a few large exporters.
About 15 years ago, the market opened up, allowing coffee producers to obtain their own export licenses. This change has enabled many producers to make a living from coffee.
90% of Colombian coffee producers are small-scale producers, and many of them live near poverty. However, even small farms now have the potential to earn a high income.
Going forward, Colombia's small-scale producers will be divided into those who cannot adapt to these changes and those who can adapt flexibly, and this is where the difference lies.
For example, coffee farms in Brazil are flat and industrialized, allowing producers to produce coffee at a lower cost than in Colombia.
Many Colombian coffee farms are located on steep mountain slopes, and harvesting must be done by hand, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Therefore, improving the quality and price of coffee is the only way to ensure the survival of Colombian coffee production.
Conversely, producers who are simply repeating the practices of their predecessors and have no desire to improve quality will face problems in the future. Even Colombia, the world's third largest producer, is in danger of being outshone by other countries.
