Tres Rayas Coffee was founded in 2015 in Planadas, Tolima, with an initial membership of 25 producers. Today, it has gained recognition in the region and many producers have joined the association, which now consists of 230 coffee growers from the communities of Gaitania, Santiago Pérez and Planadas. The altitude of these producers ranges from 1600 to 2100 MASL, and the varieties grown are Caturra, Typica, Castillo, Colombia and Bourbon. Tres Rayas can process 80.000kg of dry coffee during the main harvest period from April to July and about 30.000kg during the small harvest from September to november. The group offers washed and natural coffees on request. They are also trying to make a difference by ensuring that organic waste from coffee processing is used to make compost. They also encouraged 20 young producers to join, adding to the diverse population of Tres Rayas Coffee, which includes 48 women and 20 indegenous producers.
