The Pineapples
Reinaldo Parra
In the mysterious China Alta region, nestled among the verdant mountains of Tolima, lies a small coffee-growing village where a man named Reinaldo lives. Despite having only 5 hectares of land, his coffee production is impressive, and he has worked tirelessly to maintain consistent quality in his harvests. Reinaldo's farm spans two steep hillsides, and at the bottom lies his home, where he tends the coffee humidification and drying beds. It's hard work, but Reinaldo has proven to be a capable leader in this coffee-growing region.
Prosecution
Harvesting takes place over two days, then mixing and drying takes place on beds covered with plastic.
Region
In a remote and magical place, where green mountains rise high toward the sky and crystal-clear rivers meander through the valley, lies the region of Tolima. There, in the city of Ibagué, lies the heart of one of Colombia's most productive regions, where coffee reigns supreme.
Tolima coffee is known for its fruity and sweet notes and its intense, pronounced aroma.

Thanks to this, Tolima coffee has won numerous awards in specialized international competitions, recognized for its high quality.
With a production that represents 121% of the national total, Tolima is the third-largest coffee producer in Colombia. Its legacy in the history of coffee is immense. Therefore, when we talk about Tolima, we are talking about a magical place, where nature and human effort combine to create an exceptional product: Tolima coffee.
