Origins
It’s not easy to describe where Colombia Manos Juntas Natural coffee comes from. Nevertheless, we’ll give it a try. We import it from the Cauca region of Colombia, from plantations located near the town of Sotará. The mountains there reach heights of up to 2,000 meters, the climate is cooler, and the soil is rich in minerals. This is where the Manos Juntas project was born: it’s a micro-station that brings together small farmers from the surrounding area and gives them the opportunity to process coffee to a high standard, with an emphasis on detail, sustainability, and fair remuneration for their work.
It all starts with the harvest, which involves hand-picking perfectly ripe Castillo coffee cherries. This variety is very popular among Colombian farmers because it’s resistant to disease and has a distinctive flavor profile. However, harvesting is only the first step on the path to exceptional coffee. The second step is processing the beans, which in this case is done under the supervision of experienced workers.
The cherries are placed in hermetically sealed tanks, where they undergo five days of anaerobic fermentation, which means they’re left without oxygen. This controlled process develops more distinctive and complex flavors in the fruit. Specialists measure key parameters throughout the process, primarily Brix (sugar content) and pH. This allows them to time the entire process to perfection. When the right moment arrives, the process is paused by cooling the tanks to 20°C. This ‘deactivates’ the involved microorganisms and naturally ends fermentation.
But that's not all. The cherries "ripen" for another five days, which rounds out their flavor. This is followed by a long drying process in solar dryers lasting 30 to 45 days. The beans need to be dried slowly, naturally, in the air. Only then will they be stable and have a complex flavor. This allows each bean to retain its maximum aroma and a natural character.
The Manos Juntas project is an example of combining traditional farming with modern processing methods. The coffee produced in Cauca, Colombia, is not just a commodity from an unidentifiable source, but the result of know-how, cooperation, and deep respect for every part of the process.

Coffee packaging preview
Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
