El Puente

Our partners at Clearpath Coffee are working hard to make changes for the better. In 2018, they established El Puente, a social impact project that aims to work on three main problems that small holder farmers and producers in Colombia face when processing specialty grade coffee: a lack of post harvesting infrastructure, lack of financial resources, and the risk in experimenting with new processing methods that are demanded by the specialty industry. El Puente looks to solve these problems for 240 families of coffee producers by taking on the risks of selling processed coffees to the right clients. Project Origin are excited to do our part too and share the extraordinary community work of Clearpath Coffee and El Puente.

Regional coffees are a collection of green beans that represent a coffee growing area and provide a reliable offering each season that's popular for blends. This label utilises harvested coffee beans from small-holder farmers that do not become a micro-lot offering.
