Pioneering a truly sustainable coffee chain

“El Paraíso is committed to ensuring a sustainable future for coffee. We were the first farm in Colombia and perhaps in the world to treat all the water that enters and leaves our processing plant. And now, by merging sustainability initiatives with advanced coffee processing technologies and an innovative co-production model, we are leveraging experience across critical sectors for the future of the coffee industry, ensuring better quality of life for small coffee farmers, reducing the environmental impact caused by artisanal coffee production, protecting the biome around us and thereby advancing sustainability agendas for coffee companies, roasters and consumers around the world.”

Family on a mission

El Paraiso is a family business. Diego Samuel and his family have worked together to create a wide range of high-quality coffees with ongoing consistency. Their crew consists of 4 family members, and 8 employees. They follow the fertilisation programs strictly according to the necessities of their trees and they have developed advanced fermentation, washing techniques and using self-collected micro-organisms. Diego has even developed his own environmentally friendly driers that work on a condensation principle.
