What is the Black Condor Project?
Situated in Planadas, Tolima, an area historically impacted by conflict and renowned as the
birthplace of Colombian coffee, Emmanuel, a dedicated coffee grower, embarked on a venture.
In 2016, in collaboration with his family, they established a coffee processing center aimed at
assisting over 15 villages, facilitating local coffee growers in bean processing. Forest Coffee
and Emmanuel joined forces in 2019 to establish the Black Condor Project, providing support
to farmers affected by guerrilla warfare.
Forest Coffee and Emmanuel conduct workshops with producers to emphasize quality and cover
processes such as fermentation, drying, and cupping of their own coffees. The culmination of
these efforts is the exquisite Black Condor Coffee.
