Huila, Colombia
Café from Huila, Colombia
Huila, Colombia’s leading coffee-producing region, cultivated nearly 148,000 hectares in 2023 and is celebrated for its exceptional Arabica coffee grown in high-altitude farms with volcanic soils. Beyond coffee, Huila is a cultural and ecological treasure, where women farmers have transformed the industry through sustainable practices and social responsibility, improving education, gender equality, and economic stability.
Berracas Café began in 2018 as part of a women’s empowerment initiative sponsored by Sustainable Harvest and Levi Strauss. Officially launched in 2025 as an importer to Brooklyn, Berracas Café embodies the spirit of Huila’s resilient women farmers, combining innovation and sustainability to create lasting change through coffee.
