"Atunkaa" in the Wayuu dialect describes the state of sleeping or dreaming. These sugarcane decaf lots are produced by our community of farmers from the regions of Cauca, Caldas & Tolima. They are processed with care to preserve the natural sweetness and complexity of their varieties. Caficauca supplier: The "Cooperativa de Caficultores del Cauca" - Caficauca - was created in 1961 with the purpose of providing fair and easy market access for growers. It currently has over 3,000 associates, with the average farm size of 1.6Ha The Regional The coffee that has been carefully selected by Siruma is composed of an average of 85 growers per lot, where their coffee is fully/wash processed with a fermentation time ranging from 16-19 hours, to then go into parabolic solar dryers that take an average time of 10 days to dry the coffee until target moisture is achieved. The coffee comes from Piendam, Cajibio and Morales, which is commonly known as the Tabletop of Cauca. These towns provide an excellent elevation for coffee of 1,800-2,050masl, with very fertile land and a strong coffee economy. However, this strong coffee economy has come at a big expense; this area has a big history of armed conflict that started in the 1970s, implying most land owners were forced to plant illicit crops. Coffee has been a parallel economy that has been in a constant clash with the illicit crops.
