Info
This coffee comes from 7 producers with small farms in the municipality of Caldono within the department of Cauca. Joaquin Alvaro Tunubala, Hugo Hernan Trujillo Mosquera, Hector Giraldo Melo Araujo, Luis Alberto Chate Chocue, James Mosquera Pechene, Jose Betancur Patino, and Jairo Bomba each have their own micro-mill where they carefully harvest cherries, depulp, ferment, wash and gently dry the parchment.
The coffee grows between 1400 and 1750 masl on clay-rich soils, and is exported through a strong alliance with Banexport, a Colombian export company that provides warehousing, milling, technical support and cupping feedback so producers can earn better income to reinvest in their farms. The variety is Castillo, a rust-resistant hybrid developed by Colombia’s Cenicafe research center. It is an AA grade, conventional coffee, harvested from May to August and again from November to December, fully washed and dried inside solar dryers that protect it from the rain to keep the profile clean and even.
