For 10 years, we have been taking practical action to protect and develop forests through our Forest Coffees® brand

Forest Coffees® are ultra-high-quality coffees grown in well-preserved environments. Our trademark recognizes the know-how of local farmers and their in-depth knowledge of coffee agroforestry techniques. It illustrates the model’s environmental, social and economic merits.

Agroforestry allows farmers to diversify their income: agricultural production, timber and firewood, fodder, fruit, honey, etc. And thus reduce the vulnerability of the producer with less dependence on a single crop. The impact on biodiversity and soil quality is also considerable.

Fresh Coffee Clean Ocean: Our brand that guarantees you sustainable coffees whose sailing transport is 70-90% carbon-free.

This washed Castillo, fermented by oxidation for 18 hours, comes from Hacienda Misiones in El Colegio, Cundinamarca, a place where coffee is grown by those who call the land home.More than a crop, this coffee is a reflection of a dedicated team, proud of their roots and driven by a shared vision: to produce excellence and evolve with purpose.

Once known for having over 700 hectares of Castillo in production, the hacienda now stands out for the quality and uniqueness of its cup profile. A coffee that continues to capture the interest of roasters and buyers around the world.

Castillo with character, crafted by commitment.

&nbsp;Colombia produces exclusively Arabica, because Robusta is neither supported nor authorized by the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation, the FNC. This means we cannot export Robusta because there can be no certificate of origin, and because no phytosanitary rules have been established for this type of coffee. Coffee production is the main source of employment in rural areas.&nbsp;
The coffee-growing regions are mountainous areas. 90% of producers have very small plantations (0.80 hectares on average). The average age of a grower is 53. Many producers practice mixed farming to diversify their income (chickens, eggs, etc.). Numerous local associations and cooperatives have been set up to help growers through the various stages of the supply chain: growing, harvesting, post-harvest processing, transport, packaging, projects and certification.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Colombia is located at the north-western tip of South America and covers an area of 1,141,748 km². It is bordered by the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. It is crossed from north to south by the Andes mountain range, which divides into three branches near its southern end: the Cordillera Occidental, the Cordillera Central and the Cordillera Oriental. To the east of the Cordillera Oriental lie the Orinoco river, the Llanos plain and the Colombian Amazon. Colombia’s other mountain ranges include the Serranía del Baudó and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Six of their summits stand higher than 5,000 metres. The different climates are determined by the amount of rainfall. In the plains and lowlands (situated at an altitude of less than 500 metres), the average temperature is 25 °C. The mountains and valleys located at altitudes of over 500 metres have a wide diversity of climates. They can be very humid, rainy, dry, and even very dry. The country’s size and geographical diversity partly explain the great aromatic diversity and the different harvest periods.&nbsp;

The cherries are pulped and then fermented in water. Microbial activity breaks down the mucilage. After fermentation, they are washed in water to remove the remaining mucilage. The coffee is separated when it has a moisture content of 11%.

At Misiones, each variety is more than a name—it's a story of flavor, resilience, and identity. Since 2017, we've introduced rare cultivars like Java and Sudan Rume, now thriving alongside our distinctive Castillo. In our soil, these varieties don't just grow—they shine, revealing their full potential in every cup.

Where rare varieties reveal their true character.

The most traditional method, where the cherry remains whole throughout the drying process. Prolonged contact between the cherry and the bean produces full-bodied coffees. During this type of drying, microbial and enzymatic degradation of the cherry compounds takes place.

At Misiones, every variety tells a story of passion and purpose. Since 2017, Mocha has joined our family of 15 cultivars, thriving in harmony with our land and people. Recognized by clients and visitors alike, our coffees stand out not only for their unique profiles and processes, but because here they reveal their full agronomic and sensory potential&nbsp; reaffirming our place on the map of Colombian and international coffee culture.

Where tradition and innovation cultivate the future of coffee.

An ancient variety reborn in the Colombian highlands. This Sudan Rume Natural showcases the wild beauty of its genetics—floral, juicy, and intensely aromatic. Grown at high elevation and sun-dried with care, it delivers a vibrant cup that is both exotic and refined. A rare gem for those seeking distinction.
