What Olisipo Coffee Roasters says about this coffee
ORIGIN
Cauca is located in central-western Colombia, stretching from the Western-Cordillera mountain range to the Pacific Ocean.

The coffee in this area is grown mostly by indigenous or Afro-descendant communities who have cultivated coffee for centuries. Geographically, the region has many features including the Popayan Plateau, many rivers, and the central volcanic mountain range.
ROAST
Manos Juntas is a micromill in Sotara area of Colombia’s Cauca region.

Importantly, producers are paid upfront for their coffee by weight. The riper the cherry, the heavier it is. This encourages better harvest practices that directly correlates to higher quality.
The cherries are then “aged” in tanks for a period of five days before they are taken to solar dryers. Due to the humidity of the climate in the region, drying can take 30–45 days. While producers can focus on the healthy production of specialty coffee, the micromill handles…

Recyclable packaging
“All of our coffees are packed in metal-free oxygen barrier one-way valve bags that are 100% recyclable.” their page (opens in a new tab)
These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.

A further 7 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
