Our coffee has been planted by soccer players from all over the world. It is a specialty organic coffee produced in Colombia for the soccer world and beyond!
On Tuesday, October 11, 2016, during the Copa Americana international soccer tournament in Pereira, the Italian Soccer Academy U10 & U12 Elite teams broke ground and planted the way for an Organic Coffee crop at the Marles Family farm (owned by Mr. Alirio Marles) in Pereira, Colombia where 2 acres of land were reserved for the coffee plantation. Since then, the soccer player planting efforts have extended (fields and varieties of coffee) into several nearby farms in the coffee growing region of Risaralda, as well as Antioquia and Valle.
Our specialty coffee stems from a traditional Castillo Rosario variety in ranges of 1,300-1,650 meters above sea level, but also has a mix o Tabi and Bourbon. This mix provides traits of chocolate, nut, caramel and floral notes.
A percentage of the net proceeds from our coffee sales will go to the “No Pay To Play” program of the Italian Soccer Academy and Copa Americana. This fund allows hundreds of children from around the globe to attend international tournaments with all paid expenses or reduced costs.
We will devote time and affection to our coffee, staying true to our ecological values and objectives. Our coffee will be 100% organic in some of our farms, while others will be goal scoring specialty varieties. We look forward to you sipping your 100% organic or specialty Colombian coffee planted by soccer loving children!
The family where you train your mind and feet into success!
