This coffee is bold, juicy, and can be a bit in-your-face; akin to a blast from the horns section. A medium-body with tangy acidity, this naturally-processed Colombian will be enjoyed by anyone who wants to kick start their day.

This coffee comes from the Manos Juntas, a micromill in Sotara area of Colombia's Cauca region. By using this micromill, producers get paid upfront for their coffee; typically producers have to wait 30-40 days for coffee to dry before selling it. Because it’s naturally-processed, this coffee uses a fraction of the water normally required by the washed process that is commonly used in the industry. For this naturally-processed coffee, the coffee cherry is "aged" in tanks for a period of five more days before they are taken to solar dryers. Drying takes 30–45 days.
