About the Producer: Sonia Bolaños

Sonia Bolaños entered the world of coffee at a young age, picking cherries to help support her family. Over time, she expanded her knowledge and took on a larger role in coffee production, eventually marrying fellow producer Deimar Muñoz. Together, they have grown their farm, La Esperanza, to 5.5 hectares, cultivating Caturra, Pink Bourbon, and Castillo.

For years, Sonia and Deimar worked within the Los Naranjos producer association, seeking better prices for their coffee. However, the limitations of traditional coffee sales channels led them to search for a more direct and transparent path. That’s where Monkaaba comes in: a producer-led initiative helping smallholders gain control over their coffee’s quality, pricing, and market access.

Sonia’s dedication to learning and improving her coffee is evident. With guidance from Monkaaba’s team, she has refined her processing methods, ensuring that each harvest meets the highest standards. Her journey is one of resilience, passion, and a deep commitment to her craft.

By choosing Aloof, you’re not just enjoying an incredible cup, you’re supporting a producer who has worked tirelessly to bring her coffee to the specialty market. Sonia’s commitment to quality and her participation in Monkaaba, a producer-led initiative focused on empowerment and education, reflect the future of specialty coffee in Huila.

Sourcing in Colombia

Sonia’s coffee is part of a larger movement in Huila, Colombia to empower small producers and create sustainable relationships between farmers and roasters. The Monkaaba initiative, led by Esnaider Ortega-Gomez and other experienced growers, is designed to bridge the gap between producers and the specialty coffee market. By focusing on education, quality control, and direct relationships, Monkaaba ensures that farmers like Sonia receive fair compensation and recognition for their hard work.

Through our import partner, Semilla Coffee, and their partnership with Monkaaba, we are proud to bring you coffee that represents not just incredible craftsmanship but also a shift toward a more sustainable and equitable coffee industry.

Fresh and sweet

I drank this black and was pleasantly surprised by its sweet flavour. An extremely easy drinking blend that doesn’t need anything added to it. I’ve been enjoying this as my everyday morning cup.
