Colombia – ASOANEI

ASOANEI (The Native Agroecological Producers and Farmers from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Serranía del Perijá) began in 1995 with Aurora Izquierdo, the first Arhuaca native woman from the community of Yewrwa to study in Bogotá, Colombia’s capital. She had an objective of organizing the economy of native and farmer communities in her area. Aurora began to use coffee as an instrument to promote the cultural presence of the communities of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Serranía del Perijá with the implementation of eco-sustainable programs and projects. These programs strengthen organizational processes, reclaiming social, economic and cultural rights from the members and promote the food security of the communities. Contributing to the world with healthy products The Anei Organization is especially renowned for organic coffee of high-quality that helps take care of nature as well as human beings. The production and commercialization of ANEI’s Organic Coffee is within a context of harmony and respect for mother earth.

ASOANEI produces a smooth, sweet and lightly acidic coffee from the northern mountains of Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Serrania del Perija regions. We've roasted this organic columbian coffee slightly darker than others to produce a creamy body and a smokey, sweet aftertaste. As always, Colombia French Roast from ASOANEI is a fair trade, organic coffee and is available in a variety of grind options.
