FÚTBOL CAFE

  • 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.
