organic coffees

Until the 1970’s, most of Colombia’s coffee was produced using very traditional methods and with minimal use of agrochemicals. Since then, the Colombian coffee industry has focused mainly on increasing productivity levels, which depend on heavy sun exposure, high tree density per hectare and the use of chemical fertilizers. As a result, certified organic coffee is hard to find in Colombia.

Thanks to our close relationship with coffee growers, so far we have been able to find these two exceptional organic coffees produced in the department of Cauca:

AMACA. A very unique coffee that is produced by three hundred women coffee growers from the municipality of Tambo, Cauca, very near the colonial town of Popayán. Out of the three hundred farms, only thirty farms are NOP organic certified. Astonishingly, it is a coffee with a nice feminine touch: sweet and soft, with a nice citric aroma, hints of flowers and spices, sweet tangelo fruit and a nicely rounded body.

Organica. NOP Certified by Mayacert, this coffee is produced by three sister organizations from the municipalities of Tambo and Timbio in the department of Cauca: Asorganica, AMACA and Corseda. After four years of hard work and dedication, finally in 2005 the first one hundred and twenty farms were certified organic. Soft and lingering red berries, caramel and citric notes combined with a silky body.
