Fairtrade® Organic Colombia

Pirate Vernacular: Our favorite Pirate is Henry Morgan. He is the one that Captain Morgan Rum is named after. A "Seadog" is an old-time pirate, or veteran pirate. Scuttle refers to the sinking of a ship. This Colombia coffee represents the old colonial city of Cartagena. Henry Morgan was going to lay siege to Cartagena  when one of his ships mysteriously exploded and sank with an unfortunate number of crew lost. Luckily, this coffee is much better than that incident!

FARM DETAILS: A small group of farmers formed Cafe del Macizo in 2003 in the countryside municipality of Planadas, in the state of Tolima.

Located in the foothills of Cordillera Central, the beautiful mountains shape the lush landscape.

Statement of Sustainability:

• The majority of our shipping materials are curbside recyclable, and all of our Tea packaging is compostable. 

• We only ethically source our coffee from small-lot farmers. We offer several Fairtrade® Certified, and organically grown options.

• We believe in chemical-free products. All of our Decaffeinated coffees utilize the Swiss Water Process for decaffeination. 

• We think you deserve the best. All of our Flavored Coffees only use natural flavorings. We absolutely refuse to ever use artificial flavors in any of our products. We add just a touch of natural flavoring after the roasting process while our beans are still warm for a light taste of your favorite flavors!

• With every purchase, we fund the planting of 1 tree through the 'Trees for Education Program', formed by the collaborative efforts of UNASDG, Imani's Board and Embu officials. After year 1, the tree is included in the program that leverages the International Carbon Market through the UNASDG, and provides desperately needed funding for a school for orphans in Kenya.

• We are a member of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), which has the purpose to “foster global coffee communities to support activities to make coffee a more sustainable, equitable, and thriving activity for the whole value chain.”

• We are a member of World Coffee Research. This is a non-profit that unites the global coffee-industry towards a sustainable supply of quality coffee for generations to come. Not just because coffee tastes good, but to protect the livelihoods of thousands in many of the world’s poorest regions. It assists farmers with the tools, knowledge and plants necessary to adapt to the changing climate. It includes research on new varieties, techniques, and support to small, local farmers who are often the furthest from innovation.
