Keep this region beside the bean, roaster, cafe, recipe, rating, and tasting notes where you encountered it.
Agriculture
Farming
Farming system
Smallholders across steep terrain; conflict history in parts of Tolima shaped infrastructure and market access (this matters for how many intermediaries appear).
Post-Harvest
Processing
Processing reality
Predominantly washed; drying is frequently the bottleneck (rain variability).
Logistics
Supply Chain
Supply chain + finance
In many areas, more reliance on aggregators/purchasing points vs direct exporter relationships, unless a program is active.
As a buyer, “Tolima” quality is strongly correlated with the specific partner’s field QC + drying support, more than with the name itself.
