The Soul of Mane Drink - Our Coffee and it's Origins
A Story That Means Something
At Mane Drink, every sip tells a story — one rooted in the rugged peaks of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, where Aurora Izquierdo and the Arhuaco people have turned coffee into a force for good. Our coffee isn’t just a beverage; it’s a testament to purpose, tradition, and the power of doing things the right way. Let’s dive into the origin story of our coffee and why choosing organic matters more than you might think.
A Story of Purpose: Aurora Izquierdo and the Soul of ANEI
Aurora Izquierdo broke barriers as one of the first women from the Arhuaco community to pursue a university education. Studying agricultural engineering at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, she wasn’t just learning about crops — she was dreaming of a future where coffee could transform her community. For Aurora, coffee wasn’t just a plant; it was a bridge to food security, cultural preservation, and economic dignity for the indigenous peoples of La Sierra and Serranía del Perijá.
Returning home after graduation, Aurora founded ANEI (Association of Indigenous Agroecology Producers), a movement that now unites over 700 coffee-producing families across Cesar and Magdalena. Her leadership, recognized by the UN World Food Programme and the governor of Cesar, blends technical expertise with a spiritual commitment to the land. Under her guidance, ANEI has empowered women farmers, sent young people to school, and built transparent trade partnerships that honor every hand involved.
The Arhuaco Way: Harmony in Every Bean
The Arhuaco, descendants of the ancient Tayrona, live in harmony with nature. Their white hats symbolize the snowy peaks they protect, and their farming reflects a deep respect for the earth. For them, coffee isn’t just a crop — it’s a sacred act of balance. This philosophy shapes every step of Mane Drink’s coffee, from handpicking cherries to fermenting them for 18 hours and drying them on raised beds under the sun. The result? A cup that’s clean, honest, and brimming with purpose.
Why Organic Matters (Without the Hard Sell)
We don’t just grow coffee — we grow it organically, the way the Arhuaco have always done. Organic farming isn’t a trend; it’s a commitment to the land and the people who drink our coffee. By skipping synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, we protect the rivers, forests, and soil of Sierra Nevada, ensuring they thrive for generations. You taste the difference in every sip — a clarity and depth that only comes from coffee grown in harmony with nature.
Plus, organic practices support the farmers. ANEI’s Fairtrade and organic certifications mean better wages, healthier working conditions, and a system that values quality over shortcuts. When you choose Mane Drink, you’re not just choosing great coffee — you’re choosing a better way.
From Cherry to Cup: The ANEI Process
Our coffee is crafted with precision and care. Cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness, pulped using traditional machines, and fermented for about 18 hours to develop their flavor. Drying happens slowly on raised beds or in small solar greenhouses, preserving every nuance. Led by engineers Paulo Lemus and Alecy Andrade, ANEI’s technical team refines every step, ensuring each lot is a true reflection of the land and the people who tend it.
More Than Coffee: Building Futures
ANEI’s impact goes beyond the cup. They’ve helped dozens of young people access education, empowered over 100 women farmers, and created a logistics and tasting system that ensures fair compensation. Every bag of Mane Drink coffee supports these efforts, turning your morning brew into a small act of change.
Taste the Story
Mane Drink coffee isn’t just organic and Fairtrade — it’s a story of resilience, tradition, and hope. From Aurora’s vision to the Arhuaco’s sacred practices, every bean carries a legacy. So, the next time you pour a cup, know that you’re tasting more than coffee — you’re tasting a philosophy, a community, and a promise to do things right.
