READ ABOUT THIS COFFEE

The various smallholder farmers lead to a creation of specialized and unique profiles. Small areas have distinct climates and can radically affect the flavors, this batch is from the most southern parts of Colombia in the Narino region. Having a large border with the Pacific Ocean can cause changes in the wind patterns, soil composition, and sunlight. All of these factors and more create changes in the characteristics of the coffee.

ABOUT THIS COFFEE

For this Regional Select offerings, sourced based on cup quality and character, seeking a balance of “taste of place” with availability and price. These lots are built as blends from coffees that cup out between 84–87 on our 100-point cupping scale, and come with regional and often micro regional traceability, but are not farm- or producer-specific.

Nariño is the southwestern-most department in Colombia along the border with Ecuador, with one of its main boundaries being the Pacific Ocean. The climate there is unusual even in a place as geographically diverse as Colombia: Dry, rugged terrain and dramatic slopes and valleys create conditions that boost the big sparkling, and juicy quality of the coffees. Warm, humid air collects in the lowlands during the day and creeps up the mountainside at night, which allows coffee to thrive much higher than commonly thought possible, all the way up to 2,300 meters.
