Bambito Estate produces the varieties of Caturra, Catuai, Typica and Geisha in the washed process; and Red Bourbon and Yellow Catuai in natural process.
We are proud to say that our permanent workers have been living with their families at Bambito Estate Coffee for over 14 years, and their families are our growers year after year.
Despite not being certified as an organic farm, we use green label products, with balanced doses for the protection of the environment. Firewood and coffee husk as fuel for our drying and the pulp we ferment and use as fertilizer. It should be noted that 5 hectares of our farm are protected forest.
Bambito Estate Coffee supports as social work, the local elementary school with daily breakfasts for its students and teachers. We also have projects ready to start: a garden worked by students, teachers and parents, which will start when the face-to-face classes resume.
