ABOUT THE FARM
This coffee was grown, harvested, and processed by the ASOPEP (Asociación de Productores Agropecuarios de Café Especial de Planadas) cooperative of farmers in Tolima, Colombia. The organization has had problems with access to financing, due in part to the violence that once plagued the Tolima region, creating the perception of a hostile place for investors. ASOPEP has worked hard to rewrite their history, fracturing past perceptions and building a new reputation based on reliability, quality, and transparency. Young women and men from the area work their quality control lab, painstakingly cupping coffees to ensure the best product possible.

ABOUT THE FARM
This particular crop of coffee has received the special designation of "Cafe de Manos de Mujer" by the ACODIHUE (Asociación de Cooperación al Desarrollo Integral de Huehuetenango) cooperative in the mountain region of Cuchumatan. Meaning "Hands of the Woman" in Spanish, Manos de Mujer recognizes the indigenous women who own and cultivate the land on which the coffee was grown. The ACODIHUE cooperative invests in its community by teaching useful skills such as vegetable gardening so that its members can not only further sustain themselves but also sell at local markets to increase their incomes.

ABOUT THE FARM

ZZZCAF
You asked and we listened! We're proud to announce the latest addition to our growing coffee line up -- ZZZCAF! All the fun and flavor of a great single origin coffee without the "ahhh why am I still awake at 12am!?" frustration. This coffee is a delightful medium roast that features a sweety, syrupy texture with notes of honey and milk chocolate.
Our first decaffeinated option is a washed Swiss Water Process* (more on that in a moment) from Cajamarca, Peru. The coffee was exported by Perunor -- a company that helps increase market access to farmers who lack the means to sell their products internationally. In addition, Perunor also helps farmers become Fair Trade and Organic certified, which this coffee is.
*Swiss Water Processing is chemical-free and organic method of removing caffeine from coffee. The coffee is soaked in a green coffee extract solution for a period of 8 hours and then repeatedly passed through charcoal filters until the 99.9% of the caffeine has been removed. SWP gets its name from the country in which it originated, Switzerland, in the 1980s.
