SEVENSTONES // Colombia - Washed

All of the members derive their livelihood and the livelihoods of their families from the cultivation and production of coffee. In 2008, AMACA partnered with the Ministry of Agriculture, the governor of Cauca, and the municipality of El Tambo to increase the production and quality of coffee on 80 members’ farms. In 2010, the organization “Social Action” supplied 22 farms with new wet mills and processing tanks. Today, 140 active members from three different villages across the El Tambo municipality make up AMACA.

A premium is paid to AMACA above the value of the coffee itself to support their goals and aspirations as a group. Their mantra is simple: to improve the quality of life for their members and their members’ families. Currently, one of their most pressing needs is a warehouse space to properly receive, cup, manage, and store their coffees. We believe these premiums can help them to accomplish these goals and in turn, support this passionate and strong-willed group of women in their love for and livelihood of quality coffee.

Sevenstones Lightship lies between Land’s End and the Isles of Scilly, marking one of the most hazardous stretches of water in Britain. Stationed above the infamous Seven Stones reef, the lightship has guided vessels through fog, swell and hidden rocks since the 19th century, standing watch where a lighthouse could not. For our founder Ryan, who is originally from the Isles of Scilly, Sevenstones is a deeply personal landmark, a symbol of home, navigation and the edge of the Atlantic. It was the inspiration for our very first coffee roast, anchoring Lands End Coffee to the place where our story began.
