Regional Info
This coffee is named after the local farming facility in Popayan, located in the southwest region of Colombia. Cauca borders the departments of Tolima, Huila, Caqueta, Putumayo and Narino, as well as the Pacific Ocean. With the region boosting rainforests, basins, volcanoes and natural parks, there is a diversity of crops such as sugar cane & panela cane, potato, corn, yucca, beans, tomato and coffee. These are expertly produced in the undulating slopes of Cauca, which are also amazing landscapes.
Thanks to the Andes Mountain Range crossing through Cauca and the protection in the well - known plateau of Popayan, there are homogeneous climatic and altitudinal features that are ideal for giving birth to some of the most outstanding coffees of Colombia.
In Cauca, the high altitude, proximity to the equator and
volcanic soils make this region perfect for growing highquality coffee. The land is carefully maintained by smallholder farmers usually with plot sizes under 5 hectares
