Monkaaba

Monkaaba was founded in 2020 by Esnaider Ortega Gómez and Didier Ortega, with a focus on transparency, fairness, and producer-led coffee production. In collaboration with Semilla, they built a model centered on quality and direct support at origin.

Based in San Agustín, Huila, Monkaaba started with six families and has grown to around 80 producers. The project is built on strong community values, long-term relationships, and shared development across the supply chain.

By producers, for producers

Monkaaba is fully producer-led, with farmers involved in every stage from farm to export. Coffee is cupped blind with feedback shared directly, helping improve quality while keeping the system transparent and accessible.

Washed Pink Bourbon

This lot combines Pink Bourbon from several top producers in San Agustín to achieve both consistent quality and larger volume. Producers are paid significantly above local FNC pricing. The result is a clean, floral cup with bright red fruit, juicy acidity, and a balanced structure.

Producers: Mauricio Montanchez, Augusto Ortega, Angela Yineth Ortega, Wilmer Galindez, Daniel Ortega, Robinson Burbano, German Hoyos, Álvaro Galindez, Didier Hoyos

All La Cabra coffees are roasted for both filter and espresso.
