ATUNKAA
"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.
The Origin: A Hidden Gem in the Andes
Nestled within the Western Andes, Jardín is one of Colombia’s most iconic coffee landscapes. The combination of high altitudes and nutrient-dense volcanic soil allows for a slow maturation of the coffee cherries. This gradual development is the secret behind the bean's natural sweetness and its signature elegant acidity.
With a well-distributed rainfall pattern, Jardín benefits from two annual harvests, ensuring a fresh supply of high-quality parchment throughout the year.
The Helvetia Mission: Direct Trade & Impact
Since May 2022, following the closure of the local cooperative, Helvetia established a strategic purchase point in Jardín. This initiative provides local growers with a direct route to the specialty market. By removing intermediaries, we ensure higher premiums for the producers and foster long-term relationships built on transparency and shared development.
Through this connection, we lead sustainability and certification programs that protect the region's environmental and social economic health.
The Decaf Experience
This lot represents the best of Jardín’s traditional varieties, processed with the care typical of generational family farming. Even after the decaffeination process, the cup retains the complex microclimate characteristics that make Antioquian coffee world-famous.
