Tolima
“Cumbre Roja Castillo”

The altitude of ambition

​

Tolima’s remote mountains hide some of Colombia’s best-kept secrets — high-altitude farms reachable only by mule paths. Its coffees are sweet, full-bodied, and resilient — just like the people who grow them.

Diego Pardo

Diego Pardo runs Cumbre Roja at 1,900 m near Planadas. Once part of Colombia’s conflict zone, his farm now stands for peace and persistence. His Castillo beans are fully washed, sun-dried, and cupped at 85+. “The mountain tests us,” Diego says, “but the cup rewards us.”
