Lisandro Cardenas is a Colombian coffee producer in the coffee town of Acevedo. He and his family have been growing coffee for three generations. His farm is unique in that he primarily grows Pink Bourbon cherries, but also has a small pot of Gesha plants as well. We also buy coffee from his partner, Natalia Ramirez, and his sister Silvia. The Cardenas family have been purveyors of specialty coffee in Huila, Colombia for many years.

Lisandro also helped create the Genesis Exporting group. In a country divided by the working class and the upper class, it's significant for a group of farmers and coffee professionals to create their own exporting group. We're proud of what they've created and aim to support them by buying their coffee.
