The Asobombo association is dedicated to fostering generational change within Huila's coffee community. Nearly half of their 170 young producer members are women. Together, they strengthen their land by integrating traditional customs with modern agricultural approaches. Their smallholder farms are situated in southern Huila, near the majestic Salto de Bordones waterfall, at altitudes ranging from 1600 to 2000 meters above sea level.

This exquisite coffee lot is the fruit of the labor of 85 dedicated female members of Asobombo, who cultivate their farms in Huila. Their commitment to producing high-quality specialty coffees is evident in their meticulous cultivation and processing methods. The premiums earned from their coffee are continuously reinvested into enhancing their farm and processing infrastructure. Furthermore, they are always eager to explore new processing techniques to elevate overall quality. The cooperative estimates that this vital work, championing gender and opportunity equality, indirectly benefits over 300 individuals, including the children, spouses, and other family members of these 85 women.
