Colombia Lengupá - Transparency Report
This transparency report shares the sourcing and pricing information behind our Colombia Lengupá coffee. As part of Rumble Coffee's Transparency Project, we publish what we paid for every coffee we sell, as well as key information about the producer or producer group, farm, and the coffee itself.
About the growers
This coffee brings together the work of 124 smallholder producers from the Lengupá province of Boyacá. Farming across elevations ranging from 1200-1800 MASL, these producers cultivate coffee on small family-run farms, where careful hand-picking and generations of knowledge remain central to production. Coffee from across the province is then collected at El Porvenir, a buying point that works closely with local growers to improve quality and market access.
About the region
The Lengupá region is known for its dramatic mountain landscapes and deep coffee-growing tradition.The region's steep terrain presents challenges, but it also creates the ideal conditions for producing coffees with sweetness, balance and regional character.
Transparency and coffee pricing
Pricing Comparison
|
We believe a sustainable coffee industry starts with producers being paid fair prices for our coffees. That's why, as part of our Transparency Project, we publish what we pay for every coffee we buy and compare those prices with key industry benchmarks, to help put the price paid for this coffee into context. In 2019, Rumble signed the Transparency Pledge alongside a growing number of roasters around the globe, committing us to greater transparency around coffee sourcing and pricing. Our aim is to offer our customers honest and transparent pricing information so that you can best understand where your money is going. You can learn more about how we source and pay for our coffees, and explore all of our Transparency Reports. |

Pricing Explained
FOB (Free on Board)
This is the FOB (Free On Board) price: the price paid to the exporter before international shipping, and which does not include shipping costs, weight loss (around 17%), storage and other charges. Ultimately, the FOB price represents the figure that stays in the coffee's country of origin, benefiting its producer, community, and beyond.
We publish FOB in both $USD/lb, the standard used for international coffee pricing, as well as $AUD/kg to make the price easier for Australian customers to understand.
Farm Gate Price
The Farm Gate price is the raw price paid directly to the producer, and paid in the local currency for parchment coffee. The coffee is then milled and sorted before being placed in bags, ready for shipping. In some cases, the Farm Gate price is marked as N/A. This is typically when we purchase the coffee through a co-op or a collective of producers.
Market Price
This is the global commodity coffee price at the time of purchase (known as the 'C Market') which is commonly used as a benchmark for coffee prices around the world.
Fairtrade Price
The Fairtrade price is the minimum set by Fairtrade International for certified coffee. It's a safety net when the market price is low, but it isn't designed to reward coffee producers for the quality of their coffee. We include it because it's a recognised industry benchmark, against which to compare the price that we paid.
About the coffee
Colombia Lengupa is a smooth coffee with notes of milk chocolate and sweet toffee with a juicy orange lift. As well as being a delicious single origin, it periodically forms part of our Midnight Marauder Espresso Blend, Haymaker Espresso Blend, and our Street Fighter Espresso Blend.
