Description

Cauca is in central-western Colombia, stretching from the Western Cordillera mountain range to the Pacific Ocean. Ocean winds and elevation result in Cauca being one of the coolest regions of the country. The coffee in this area is grown mostly by indigenous or Afro-descendant communities.

Manos Juntas is a micromill in Sotara area of Colombia's Cauca region. The entire concept of this micromill is based on simplifying tasks and responsibilities. They purchase cherries from producers and manage the processing, drying, and storage themselves. This model allows producers to focus on the healthy production of specialty coffee, while the meticulous work of sorting, processing, drying, and storing is managed by exporting team.
