High up in the Colombian Andes, where altitudes soar past 2000m and the coffee gets dense and sweet. Inzá is where Colombian culture meets coffee perfection. The region’s coffee has deep roots, and today, it’s thriving thanks to local farmers and the support of Siruma—a bold exporter connecting small producers to the speciality coffee world.
We source this coffee through Falcon Speciality, who teamed up with Siruma in 2021. This partnership has levelled up the quality and consistency of Falcon's Colombian coffee. Siruma’s approach? Boots on the ground at origin. They start with baseline questionnaires and fieldwork led by three agronomists to find out exactly what each community needs most. These insights get passed on to their sustainability team—a team that makes up 40% of Siruma’s staff. Yep, you read that right. In a world obsessed with profit-driven roles, Siruma is out here dedicating almost half of its team to community support. Wild, right?
Once they have a game plan, the sustainability team pitches projects to NGOs (like Responsibility, USAID, and the FNC), as well as Falcon and coffee roasters, to pull in funding and scale things up. Then, it’s over to the field technicians to make it all happen.
The results? Six years of hard work have brought real change to these regions. Siruma isn’t just exporting coffee—they’re building something that lasts.
