AMUCC's Colombia

AMUCC's Colombian coffee comes from an association of women in the Cauca region of Colombia, the Association of women Coffee Growers of Cauca. In early the 2000s, they joined together and initiated a partnership with a Spanish coffee roaster, Supracafe, to establish and promote their coffee association. Their coffee is of the highest quality, due greatly to the high altitude, humidity and volcanic soil of their area - earning them fair trade and organic certifications at the source. This location was also a battlefield not too long ago, between the FARC, the ELN, and the EPL, leaving many of the women widows.
