Sourced from Falcon Specialty Coffee:

Siruma started as a company in 2017 with a goal to work with under-served and developing farming communities, concentrating their efforts in Cauca, Caldas, and Tolima. Working with many indigenous communities, Siruma’s name comes from the Wayuunaiki language (indigenous people in North Colombia) and means Heaven and Skies. Atunkaa comes from the same language and means sleep and sleepy dreams.

Many off the rack Sugarcane Colombia decafs (bought by importers already decaffeinated) have zero farmer and price traceability and no transparency as to where most of the margin on a 4 or 5 dollar coffee is made. By tolling our decaf with Descafecol, Siruma and Falcon pay a sustainable price to the Association and farmers, the decaffeinator gets a margin for tolling, Siruma makes a margin, and Falcon makes a margin, with the Association and farmer making the largest percentages of the final price. Atunkaa Sugarcane decaf is sourced from Cauca, Caldas and Tolima from the same partners that our community lots, small farmer blends, and microlots come from. Purchasing from the same supply chains as our non decaf coffees helps push more volume and revenue to these partners. The results are fully traceable (farmers that contributed to lots as well as farm gate pricing) decaf community lots that score SCA 85-86, pay more to farmers, and are easy to market.

The Cooperativa de Caficultores de Manizales, founded in 1960, is a big part of the coffee community in the region of Caldas. Located in part of the renowned Coffee Triangle, the cooperative was created to support local coffee growers by improving market access, strengthening livelihoods, and promoting collective action.

The cooperative helps farmers secure better prices, attain fair trade certifications, and access technical training, financial services, and sustainability programs. These services improve members’ economic stability and enhance community well-being.

Sustainability is central to its mission. The cooperative encourages organic farming, reduces pesticide use, and supports water conservation, biodiversity, and renewable energy. It also invests in social initiatives, including education, healthcare, and fair labor practices, to improve living standards in coffee-growing communities.

Through partnerships with buyers and NGOs, the cooperative reaches global markets and continuously improves production quality. Its commitment to sustainability and high standards has made it a leader in promoting Colombian coffee worldwide.
