The Entre Sierras Experience: Organic & Fairtrade
Immerse yourself in the exceptional flavors of this premium organic Fairtrade Colombian coffee, a true Grand Cru that captures the soul of the region. The Entre Sierras blend is a pure, 100% Arabica whole bean masterpiece cultivated in the breathtaking Serrania del Perija mountains. Grown at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,800 meters, these carefully washed Castillo and Colombia varietals thrive in the high-altitude climate to develop a deeply comforting, complex flavor profile.
Supporting Traditional Growers: A Shared Vision
Beyond its gourmet taste, every bag of Entre Sierras represents a beautiful partnership. This coffee is sourced from the “Entre Sierras” cooperative—a passionate collective of 28 traditional coffee growers united by a vision for community well-being. La Semeuse actively supports this democratic process by providing direct financial contributions, ensuring a better quality of life for the farmers, their families, and the surrounding region.
Traditional Swiss High-Altitude Roasting
Through La Semeuse’s delicate, traditional Swiss roasting process, this generous, full-bodied Colombian whole bean coffee reaches its absolute peak. Expertly roasted at 1,000 meters above sea level in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the atmospheric pressure allows for gentle, lower roasting temperatures. This prevents the beans from burning and perfectly preserves the natural oils and aromatic sugars.

Ethically sourced without synthetic chemicals, it ensures a pure, natural cup that protects local ecosystems while guaranteeing fair wages and empowering the traditional growers of Colombia.

Where is this coffee roasted?
While the beans are grown at high altitudes (1200–1800m) in the Serrania del Perija region of Colombia, they are delicately roasted in Switzerland at the historic La Semeuse roastery in La Chaux-de-Fonds, using traditional methods to preserve the bean’s natural oils and aromas.
How should I store my 500g bag of coffee beans?
To preserve the delicate notes of chocolate and honey, keep your coffee beans in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight, in the fridge, or near strong heat sources, as temperature fluctuations and moisture can degrade the flavor of the beans.
