colobia coffee - mujeres del cauca

producers

The coffee comes from family farms organized around the Asociación de Mujeres Caficultoras del Cauca (AMUCC), a producers' association comprising 274 women living in the municipalities of Balboa, Cajibio, Caldono, El Tambo, Florencia, La sierra, La Vega, Morales, Piendamo, Popayan and Timbio, in Colombia's Cauca department. This Colombian department is a little paradise on earth. Its valleys are inexhaustibly fertile, thanks to a combination of altitude, humidity and volcanic soil. But this southern region of the country also knows what it's like to descend into the abyss due to the armed conflict in Colombia. It was in this difficult context that the Association of Women Coffee Growers of Cauca (AMUCC) was born.

process

Once harvested, the cherries are transported to a washing station where they undergo a complete washing process to remove the pulp and outer skin. This washing is carried out mechanically, followed by soaking in water to remove any remaining mucilage residue. After washing, the coffee beans are placed on drying tables in full sunlight. This sun-drying process can last several days, and requires constant supervision to avoid overheating the beans or contamination by external elements. Once the beans have been sun-dried, they are ready to be shipped to your favorite roaster, where they will be roasted to reveal their unique flavours.
