El Tambor means ‘The Drum’: it is believed that the name comes from the sounds of an underground river pounding under the ground, making a drum-like sound. To combat the coffee leaf rust, which is an epidemic which could easily wipe out all Arabica coffee. The owner Victor Calderon thought of an ingenious way of using clay which is highly alkaline to fight off the coffee leaf rust with minimal environmental impact. The method was a success, is ecologically friendly and posed no threat to the worker without the use of chemical fungicides. It created a unique profile of favours using alkaline soil.

ESTATE COFFEE
Le Piantagioni journey in the world of coffee started in 1994 and it was mainly a quest.
They have always gone beyond the concepts of location and country of origin, as far as the estate, retracing the road first walked by the world of wine. In each estate coffee they search for the indelible signature of the soil, of the botanical variety, of the selective harvesting, pulping, drying process. The roasting and the brewing finally enhance the coffee in the cup.
And it’s right there in the cup, where people discover their job, that they want to propose some special coffees with defined characters, to choose depending on the personal taste and on the time of the day.
When the world of coffee did not even imagine what an estate coffee was and when nobody traveled the world to select their raw materials, they did…..today when everybody is talking about “origin”, they keep following their path
AN INNOVATIVE IDEA OF COFFEE
The ideas of the founder Carlalberto Relli, met Enrico Meschini’s experience; the heir of a four-generation family always devoted to quality coffees. Enrico had already experienced several travels to the estates, thanks to which he had broadened his knowledge about coffee and his tasting skills, as far as becoming a member of the International jury of the Cup of Excellence and the founder and President of CSC – Certified Speciality Coffee Association.
This meeting gave us the strength to invest on the forefront idea of the estate coffees.
