The Story

Exported by Cofinet,

Produced by smallholders in rural areas surrounding the Galeras Volcano in Narino. Coffee growers from this region are well known for producing some of the finest washed coffees in Colombia. We work with approximately 200 coffee growers from different associations across this region. This coffee is fully washed. It was exposed to 20–25 hour fermentation and then dried on parabolic dryers with controlled temperature to ensure an even dry and reach the right moisture level. We admire the amazing cup profile and the extreme care and love growers have for coffee in this region.

Nariño is home to 12 volcanoes, some of which are still actively enriching the soil today. The soil is very rich in organic material, as well as acidic ashes from volcanic eruptions. Many Nariño coffees are shade grown under nitrogen-fixing trees. Coffee trees are grown at up to 2,300 meters ASL. It’s one of the few areas in Colombia with farms at such high elevations.
