The Manizales coffee growers' cooperative was founded on 22 August 1960, in the central municipalities of the Department of Caldas, and later extended to the eastern region of the same. From the beginning it has counted on the sponsorship and support of the National Federation of Coffee Growers in terms of access to capital for the purchase of the grain, for the construction of a modern infrastructure, always looking for an adequate commercialisation. Its creation arose from the need to give a fair price to the coffee grower, to pay in cash and to have an exact weight, thus contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of the producer and his or her family.

The coffee is grown on fertile land, applying the best practices to preserve and enhance its fragrance and aroma. It is a coffee created following the tradition and experience of a region that enjoys the perfect balance between good taste and respect for nature.
