This Good Coffee Doing Good release has been created as a special series for International Women’s Day, featuring Typica, Wush Wush and Caturra from Paola Trujillo and her family at Patio Bonito Farm in Pescador, Cauca, Colombia. These coffees celebrate Paola and the leadership she continues to show within her community, and reflects Padre’s broader commitment to improving access to opportunity, skills and recognition for women across the coffee supply chain. At origin, Paola is already doing this work. Through on-farm training and mentorship, she supports emerging producers by sharing practical processing and fermentation methods that improve quality outcomes. We are proud to support the next stage of that work through this release. For every kilo sold, Padre will donate $8 from Typica, $8 from Wush Wush and $4 from Caturra. Our goal is to raise 7,500,000 Colombian pesos (approximately $2,900) to support a network preceptor programme Paola is developing in partnership with a Colombian technical institute. The programme aims to build a cost-effective farm toolkit for smallholders and deliver structured fermentation training that improves process control, reduces defect risk and increases the likelihood of higher cup scores and stronger pricing outcomes. Designed as a cascade model, Paola will train approximately 8 to 10 female farmers across Cauca. These women will then act as preceptors, distributing shared methods and standards to a wider network of up to 1,200 producers. Importantly, the network is structured to include representation across the diverse communities producing coffee in Cauca. By establishing shared technical language and shared process standards, the programme seeks to reduce barriers between groups and strengthen collaboration across the region.
