The Story Behind the Bean

Manos Campesinas, meaning "Hands of the Farmers," lives up to its name by directly connecting small-scale producers with the global coffee market. This exceptional lot originates from three dedicated producer groups—Plan Villa Nueva, Media Cuesta, and Aprocafe Acdi—nestled in the lush and lesser-known coffee-growing region of San Marcos.

San Marcos, home to the majestic Tajumulco and Tacaná volcanoes (Central America’s highest peaks), boasts rich volcanic soils and a microclimate perfect for cultivating world-class coffee.

Each producer group prioritizes sustainability and quality. Farmers handcraft organic fertilizers, process cherries in their micro-mills, and meticulously oversee each step: sorting, depulping, fermenting, washing, and sun-drying beans to perfection. Manos Campesinas then ensures the coffee reaches buyers as a traceable, high-quality community blend, embodying the unique vibrancy of the region while securing fair earnings for producers.

Why Choose This Coffee?

From its vivid flavor profile to its commitment to fair trade and sustainability, this coffee is an exceptional choice for enthusiasts who value both taste and ethical sourcing. Let the bright, citrusy notes and floral aromas transport you to the lush hills of San Marcos, where passion and dedication transform each bean into an unforgettable experience.

Perfect for pour-over aficionados, espresso explorers, and anyone who appreciates a coffee that tells a story in every sip.
