Cacao and coffee from smallholders · Colombia
Who grew it, where, and what they were paid. Counted.
Every lot carries a QR code that opens its origin record: the farmers, the chain of deliveries and the price they received, showing what has been checked and by whom.
Scan it with your phone to open the example record.
What a record tells you
Four questions, the same for every lot. Each answer says how far it goes and who stands behind it.
Who made it?
The farmers in the lot by name, and how much of the beans each one contributed.
How was it made?
Harvest, fermentation and drying, with dates and who did each step.
Who checked it from outside?
Accredited lab analysis, tastings or field visits, with the report published.
What was the farmer paid?
The price paid per kilo, backed by the receipt the farmer confirmed.
From the scale to the record
The record isn’t written up: it is assembled from what gets logged at every delivery.
Weighed delivery, with a receipt
The farmer delivers the beans, they are weighed, and a WhatsApp receipt arrives that the farmer can confirm or dispute. Works offline. See the receipt (Spanish)
The chain, in order
Blending, fermentation, drying and sales are all logged. When several neighbours’ beans are blended, nobody drops off the lot’s list.
A person publishes
The record is generated from fixed templates in four languages and published by a person. Every version carries a fingerprint that shows it hasn’t been altered.
What it isn’t
It isn’t a certification or a quality score. The record publishes facts about one specific lot and says who checked them and when.
Exact farm locations are never published. Farmers decide whether their name and photo appear, and can change their mind at any time.
Coming soon
We are preparing the first pilot. If you run a farmers’ association, roast coffee or make chocolate with Colombian beans, get in touch.
