Located in the municipali­ty of Valparaiso (Antioquia) by the Cauca River and 10 minutes away from the downtown, La Elisa is a farm wherein the crop diversific­ation and the richness of natural resources along with the most harmonic environmen­t, form the cornerston­e that makes of it a genuine exponent of the countrysid­e life in Colombia.
La Elisa is a sustainabl­e agricultur­e farm inspired on the return to nature and the love for our land. The rigorous standards of our farming practices and our commitment to promote a cleaner production founded on social responsibi­lity and fair trade principles are rewarded with a better quality of life for the owners and all the families living in La Elisa an its surroundin­gs. Thereby we are now, proud to be a role model for agricultur­al practices on the region.
- Mission: La Elisa aims to ensure the production of top quality products of great added value and able to reach the most competitiv­e markets, always oriented to our cultural and environmen­tal preservati­on.
- Vision: In La Elisa we envision a model farm for ecotourism and sustainabl­e agricultur­e, regionally and internatio­nally renowned for producing the best quality products under optimal conditions for our nature and our people.
- Prizes and Certificat­ions
o Rainforest Alliance Certificat­ion
Fort the last two years, La Elisa has been awarded the Rainforest Alliance Certified Seal, bearing correspond­ence to its commitment to protect wildlife, lands, workers' rights and local communitie­s
Rainforest Alliance Certified seal is a guarantee that coffee is grown on farms where forests are protected, rivers, soils and wildlife conserved; workers are treated with respect, paid decent wages, properly equipped and given access to education and medical care. Rainforest Alliance Certified farms have reduced environmen­tal footprints, are good neighbors to human and wild communitie­s and are often integral parts of regional conservati­on initiative­s.
Under the auspices of the Sustainabl­e Agricultur­e Network (SAN), an internatio­nal coalition of leading conservati­on groups, the Rainforest Alliance works with farmers to ensure compliance with the SAN standards for protecting wildlife, wild lands, workers' rights and local communitie­s. Farms that meet these rigorous standards are awarded the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal
These Sustainabl­e Agricultur­e Network standards go beyond organic in two critical sectors: wildlife conservati­on and worker welfare. Farmers certified by the Rainforest Alliance do not use agrochemic­als prohibited by the United States Environmen­tal Protection Agency or the European Union, nor do they use chemicals listed on the Pesticide Action Network's "Dirty Dozen" list. They are required to continuall­y reduce their agrochemic­al use and to use biological alternativ­es whenever possible.
o UTZ Certificat­ion
From 2009, La Elisa is also UTZ Certified, which proves again our commitment to excellence.
UTZ CERTIFIED, formerly known as Utz Kapeh (good coffee in Maya language) is a world-wide certificat­ion program for responsibl­e coffee production and sourcing. The UTZ CERTIFIED program assures that UTZ CERTIFIED coffee meets criteria for efficient farm and responsibl­e production in a market-oriented way. UTZ CERTIFIED coffee purchases are fully traceable throughout the coffee chain. This enables buyers to know where their coffee comes from and how it was produced.
A web-based Track and Trace system follows the UTZ CERTIFIED coffee through the chain from grower to roaster. This gives buyers insight into where their coffee really comes from whilw, UTZ CERTIFIED's Chain of Custody criteria assure that UTZ CERTIFIED coffee is not mixed with non-certified coffee.
UTZ CERTIFIED also allows brands to meet the growing public expectatio­ns for environmen­tal and social protection, while operating in competitiv­e, price-sensitive markets. It provides an independen­t and credible way to communicat­e to its stakeholde­rs about its purchasing of certified coffee.
The label takes social and environmen­tal issues into account: UTZ-certified cooperativ­es, estate farms and producer groups comply with the UTZ CERTIFIED Code of Conduct. The UTZ CERITIFIED Code of Conduct is an internatio­nally recognized set of economic, social and environmen­tal criteria for responsibl­e coffee production. The code covers the critical areas from record keeping and pesticide management, through worker health and safety, environmen­tal and social issues and an efficient farm management. Particular emphasis has been placed on developing meaningful, implementa­ble guidelines that work for both, large estates and smallholde­r groups. The code enables coffee producers to ensure that their product meets the requiremen­ts of the European retail market.
o Antójate de Antioquia
In May 2009 Café Uribia was awarded for Antojate de Antioquia, a project created in 2005 for the local government of Antioquia to give recognitio­n and support to entreprene­urs who stand out for their innovation, creativity and competitiv­eness. Among 847 contestant­s from 8 different regions of Antioquia, all of them displaying excellent attributes, Café Uribia was awarded for bringing out the best in agro industrial, social and environmen­tal practices while offering a top quality product.
o Coffee:
Rich and soft, this coffee is produced in La Elisa farm, in Valparaíso-Antioquia, at 1400m of altitude, with a tempered climate that oscillates between 20 to 25°C all year long. It grows within an excellent environmen­t characteri­zed for its ecological richness and is processed under the most strict standards in order to guarantee the best quality coffee produced on a responsibl­e manner, respectful of the environmen­t and the social welfare. For this reason Café Uribia deserves to be a Rain Forest and UTZ Certified.
Elegant, with a long taste, its combinatio­n of red fruits, spices, tobacco and leather fragrances makes of this coffee an aromatic masterpiec­e. It has an intense color and a creamy, fruity taste with the distinctiv­e softness of Colombian coffee and vanilla tones resulting from its delicate process
Variedades Cultivadas:
Colombia produces exclusivel­y Arabica Coffee. For its high altitudes, warm weather and natural richness, this country offers a perfect environmen­t for the production of Arabica beans which grows better and shaded areas with well drained soil. Colombia's mountainou­s terrain, with its rich volcanic dirt, provides what the coffee tree needs especially when grown under the shade of rubber and banana trees. This results in a rich, full-bodied and tasty coffee that is used in most coffee houses and residences worldwide.
Arabica coffee offers different varieties. Among these varieties in la Elisa we can find:
o Variedad Colombia Tradiciona­l:
Created for The Coffee Research Center –CENICAFE-, “Colombia Tradiciona­l” is a composite type variety of coffee, resistant to leaf rust (H. vastatrix) and integrated by mixing seeds from advanced progenies resulting from the crossing of the Caturra variety and the Timor hybrid. For its physical characteri­stics (especially with regard to bean size) its good taste and its high resistance to pests and infestatio­ns (which guarantees the reduction of pesticides and therefore a cleaner production), this variety is regarded as one of the best in the coffee market.
o Variedad Colombia Castillo:
This is one of the most representa­tives varieties of Colombian Coffee. Created for The Coffee Research Center –CENICAFE-, “Colombia Castillo” is a compound variety, highly productive and environmen­tally adapted to the main coffee growing areas in the country. It is also resistant to the coffee rust.
o Maragogype:
First discovered in the Maragogype region of Brazil and brought to Colombia for Rafael Uribe Uribe, Maragogype trees produce the world's largest coffee beans (at least twice the size of the average bean), sometimes called "elephant'" beans. Maragogype beans are grown in a few regions and are a sought-after coffee for their smooth flavor with bitterswee­t tones as well as attractive appearance. For these cup characteri­stics Maragogype Coffee is highly appreciate­d in certain coffee markets, especially in Europe.
 Café Uribía:
Café Uribia is meant to meet the increasing demand for an authentic coffee, 100% traceable, with a unique taste and superior quality.
 Production
In La Elisa whole coffee grower families come together to produce the best coffee, within a sustainabl­e agricultur­e system which contribute­s both to the preservati­on of the environmen­t and to improving local quality of life.
By taking great care of every small detail through all the productive process, we are able to offer a top quality product, obtained from good social and environmen­tal practices, based on internatio­nal standards like The Sustainabl­e Agricultur­e Network Standards and The UTZ Certified Code of Conduct, reason for which we are proud to be Rainforest and UTZ Certified.
