The Ranger

The Ranger is currently a blend of Colombia Black Condor and Mexico Rancho Bonito. The Black Condor Project (Colombia) was created by Forest Coffee and a coffee grower named Emmanuel. They’ve established a washing station to support farmers from Gaitania who have been affected by guerrilla war and ensure direct and fair payment, offering rates 18-20% above market rate. Driven by quality, BCP consistently hosts workshops with producers covering processes, fermentation, drying, and cupping their own coffees. They foster internal competition among producers to promote and give visibility to their coffees and improvements. Today, the Black Condor Project has over 100 independent coffee producers on board, creating real and tangible impact within communities and regional prosperity and economy. /// Rancho Bonito (Mexico) is apart of La Tribu, a network of cooperatives formed to unify disparate coffee communities across the Sierra Madre de Chiapas. Most members are smallholder families cultivating on 1-3 hectare plots under shade, often with organic practices. The group organized to gain bargaining power, professionalize quality, and move coffee with a collective voice in a region where distance, poverty, and limited infrastructure have historically kept producers reliant on intermediaries. La Tribu’s young, collaborative leadership coordinates lot separation, centralized quality control, financing, and export services. Members manage their own processing while the cooperative aggregates coffees by community, variety, or altitude to meet target profiles. This system keeps community identity intact while providing access to liquidity, technical assistance, and professional marketing.
