Astrid Dorado is a coffee producer in the town of Sotara, in Cauca, Colombia. She is
a third generation coffee producer and has farmed Finca Agroambiental since 2004. Astrid produces specialty coffee on her small farm and leads the Association of Women Agricultural Producers of Sotara, which is a part of a larger national association of women producers. Astrid's association hopes to empower women to find succesful careers in specialty coffee production and works in education, marketing and unionizing.

Astrid grows Castillo variety coffee at a high elevation of 1850 M.A.S.L. Due to factors such as temperature and length of day, coffee grown at such high elevations experience a longer period of fruit maturation than coffee grown at lower elevations. This additional time means that the coffee fruit develops more complex sugars, yielding more nuanced flavors.

Panther Coffee found this great lot of coffee at a competition and auction in Timbio, Colombia in August 2018. After her coffee qualified for the auction, Astrid was asked what her life was like as a coffee producer in the department of Cauca. "Well, I wake up, I take care of my kids, I take care of my husband, I take care of the house, I take care of the animals, then I take care of the coffee.'

Panther Coffee green coffee buyer Joel Pollock was impressed with Astrid's coffee
and her spirit. We are happy to share with you Finca Agroambiental.
