CGLE is one of the leading producers in Colombia's specialty coffee industry, and has received international acclaim for its innovative, high-quality coffee production. Based in the Valle del Cauca and Cauca departments in western Colombia, CGLE owns several farms at different altitudes and climates, including "La Esperanza," "Las Margaritas," "Cerro Azul," and "Potosí."

CGLE was founded in 1945 and is currently run by Rigoberto Herrera, the third generation of the Herrera family. They are proactive in innovating coffee varieties and processing methods, and in 2007 they attracted attention for being the first to successfully introduce Panama Geisha coffee to Colombia.

CGLE also cultivates rare varieties such as Geisha, Sudan Rume, Mandara, Laurina, Sidra, and Pacamara, and is also working on developing new varieties, such as the hybrid "CGLE-17 (Caturra x Geisha)," which was developed through a unique crossbreeding process.

They offer a wide range of processing methods, including washed, natural, and honey processed coffees, as well as fermentation processes utilizing the latest technology, such as anaerobic and thermal shock.
