Colombia


The Nespresso AAA Program for Sustainable Quality was developed with Rainforest Alliance. Today, + 80% of Nespresso coffee comes from AAA certified farms, and + 40% comes from Rainforest Alliance certified farms.

The cooler climate of the high-altitude Colombia Aguadas mountains means the coffee takes longer to ferment. The classic washed coffee processing method is already complex and time-consuming, but up here it calls for even more skill. The Aguadas farmers figured out how to painstakingly harvest only the perfectly ripe fruit and then carefully monitor the long fermentation to ensure only the best aromas develop in the coffee.
