La Brisas is a great coffee for conscious consumers. Producer Juan Guillermo has a commitment and responsibility to the environment as well as the whole value chain. Being a uniquely processed washed coffee, Las Brisas will upgrade your lattes and cappuccinos with its fruity notes.
Las Brisas coffee is produced by father and son Juan and Manuel. The whole process focuses on sustainability, being a coffee that reduces water usage at the rate of 39 liters per kilo This is possible due to the usage of an EcoMill ®, an exclusive technology designed to contribute to efficient water use in coffee production
The production of las Brisas works under the “cherry center model”, thus when you buy the coffee you help a whole community! Juan and Manuel work with their neighbors so they can deliver perfectly harvested cherries.
La Brisas is a unique coffee for many reasons, and perhaps most importantly is their attitude towards responsibility with the environment, the suppliers, and with the quality of coffee. The project is led by father and son, Juan and Manuel and it had its origin in their family farm called Las Brisas which works under the premise of efficiency and quality. Both of them are very passionate about the coffee production process, Juan being the one that is in charge of the coffee harvesting and Manuel supporting the growth of the business.
Las Brisas was one of the first and old farms in the country to fully implement their EcoMill which, along with other initiatives, makes a reduction of the water needed to process. The machine has an unbeatable technology that it can use 99% less water than traditional processing methods. This community model helps economically and environmentally to both the coffee producers and Las Brisas because they have control of the quality of the coffee beans.
By purchasing from Las Brisas, we are directly impacting the UN Sustainable Development goal number 6 by reducing water usage, at the rate of 39 liters per kilo!
They operate under the “cherry center” model in which their neighbors can deliver their harvested cherries and the team at Las Brisas processes them. Building relationships with the Pereria community allows them to process their coffees with sustainable practices, and high-quality control standards, making for a larger possibility of production under the same 84+ point profile.
As coffee-preneurs, they innovate the traditional way of coffee production in order to make it sustainable. One of those innovation processes was an accident! Don Guillermo left the coffee beans without depulping overnight by mistake. The next morning, he was upset thinking he destroyed the lot of coffee by making it turn vinegary from the fermentation. However, his curious mind took him to continue the process to mill and dry the beans. As a surprise, the result was an amazing coffee with a more fruity profile due to the short fermentation profile. This is how the control fermentation process that characterizes Las Brisas was born.
Juan and Manuel are coffee lovers convinced about the power of coffee production to transform Colombian culture into a more sustainable and conscious one. Highlighting the potential of Colombian agriculture. This is possible only with the sharing of knowledge and a sense of community. You can taste the love they impregnate into each coffee bean through the origin of Las Brisas.
Canada Post has started a National strike. They will not be accepting parcels during this time but will keep any parcels that are on their way safe.
We are still accepting orders and are attempting to ship orders for free over $100*. This is getting more and more difficult as other carriers such as Purolator are no longer accepting more parcels into their system. Please ensure that your home address and not P.O. Box are used in your shipping address. We are currently using UPS and few smaller carriers for our free shipping options. Most locations we have been able to find ways to ship your orders but if this is not the case we will contact you and try to work to find a solution.
If you wish, you can still choose the Canada Post shipping option and we will hold the orders until the strike is finished and ship them at that time.
We are sorry about this inconvenience and appreciate your continued business.
