Manos Campesinas is an apt name for an export company dedicated to brining coffee directly from the hands of producers. As an umbrella organization, Manos Campesinas helps smaller associations of producers gain access to the international market.

This particular lot comes from three groups in the lesser known coffee producing region in the department of San Marcos, which is actually home to two impressive volcanoes (Tajumulco and Tacana) boosting the highest elevations in all of Central America. Each of these community associations (Plan Villa Nueva, Media Cuesta, and Aprocafe Acdi) focus attention on training producers on best organic practices to manage their farms.

In addition to making their own fertilizer, producers use their own micro-mills to process harvested cherries, which includes hand sorting, depulping, fermenting, washing and drying the coffee to 11 percent moisture. At this stage, Manos Campesinas steps in with transportation, warehousing and cupping analysis to establish a traceable community blend with a vibrant regional profile ensuring greater producer earnings.

 
Roasting

At Smiling Mug Coffee our roasters roast beans in frequent small batches to insure your coffee is at peak quality when it ships. Our roasting schedule is guided by customer demand, not warehouse inventory, so your coffee isn’t sitting around in a warehouse waiting for it to be sold.


We’ve built our roasting and fulfillment process to prioritize freshness, responsiveness, and quality. Orders are often packed and shipped the same day they’re roasted, helping us minimize storage time and deliver coffee that’s full of flavor and character.


The result is the freshest, small batch, craft roasted coffee available. Coffee orders generally ship in 1-2 business days (a bit longer during holidays and peak times).
Family Farms

All of our coffee is organic, specialty grade and ethically traded with a focus on relationships and respect for the farm and the farmer. All lots are carefully evaluated based on cup quality, farm process and sustainable practice.
