Cauca province is one of the well-known boutique coffee producing areas in Colombia, bordering Nalinglong in the west and Vera province in the east. The 29 administrative districts where coffee is grown range from 1758 meters to 2100 Michael above sea level. Like the boutique coffee producing areas in southern Colombia, the climate, rainy season, volcanic soil and other factors have a high degree of homogeneity. A fixed rainfall cycle (the dry season from August to September is followed by a rich rainy season, Rain Water) provides favorable fruiting factors for coffee trees. High-intensity sunshine and low rainfall coincide with the flowering season (July-August), when it also leaves the equatorial windless zone, providing favorable flowering conditions for coffee trees. These factors also contributed to the concentrated harvest in the first quarter of the next year. Compared with other coffee-growing areas in Colombia, the climate is more variable in the daytime temperature: the average daily temperature is as low as 11 degrees, and the average temperature during the day is 18 degrees (the average temperature at night is 4 degrees). This sharp temperature difference between day and night is a boost to the growth of Coca Coffee. The low night average temperature caused by high altitude slows down the ripening of coffee beans, improves the acidity and gives special sweetness.

Sotara is a small town in the middle of Cauca, while the Sotara volcano belongs to the Andes, providing nutritious soil for coffee beans to grow. Coffee cultivation in this area covers an area of about 911 hectares and consists of mountainous areas and three well-known rivers: Caueta, Cauca and Magdalena.

In the village of Uribe in the autonomous region of El Tambo, Cauca Province, small farmer producer Jose Cornelio BarretaMontenegro and his wife Gerardina Serna jointly manage 1 hectare of land. Benefiting from the volcanic environment of Cauca Province, this area has suitable external planting conditions such as volcanic soil, a high altitude of more than 1800 meters and rainfall of 2300-2600mm. Although the land is small, Barrera is always full of enthusiasm, focusing on growing coffee and constantly learning new technologies to improve quality. For example, work with other local producers to develop a set of standardized harvest procedures, after drying, the Barrera couple also hand-picked defective beans.
