Colombia is the third largest coffee producer in the world. Coffee is produced almost everywhere. However, in recent years, almost all the southern regions have surpassed the north. The famous Nalinglong, Tolima and Huilan are all good producing areas. Small farmers have no more than 10- 15 hectares of land, coffee will dry on elevated bamboo beds with UV-resistant awnings above, and large circulating fans will maintain ventilation in the drying room for no more than 18 days. The humidity of coffee is measured every day. Small farmers believe that the climate, soil, temperature, harvest maturity and proper care on this earth contribute a lot to the taste of coffee. Comprehensive collection of good farm information and continuous cup testing by good cup testers make suggestions, consumers propose favorite flavors, and finally give good farm improvement. This is the way forward for fine coffee in Colombia.

Juan and Andres, owners of the Mesedi estate in Colombia, pay tribute to their father, Alonso "Mono" Guerra, in the name of "Menno's legacy." While their grandfather bought the farm in 1960, when it was still just a ranch, their father worked hard to build it into a real coffee estate, and Juan and Andres worked to transform it into a specialty coffee plantation. Now this place is RFA (Rainforest Alliance) and UTZ (UTZ) certified good farm, the estate has a large natural ecology, but also ensures excellent coffee quality and natural ecological preservation, because organic care of the earth is the condition of good coffee.
