In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, we invite you to another installment of our "Meet the Farms" series, where we take you on a journey into the world of coffee origins. Today, we shine a spotlight on the source of our beloved Coltrane roast - the family-owned farms in the enchanting municipality of Piendamó, located within the Cauca department of Colombia. These dedicated producers not only cultivate exceptional coffee but also nurture their land for the prosperity of their families.
