This coffee is sourced from smallholder farms in Buesaco, Nariño region of southern Colombia, cultivated at 2100 meters altitude. The varieties include Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia, processed using the washed method. The young volcanic soil and unique geographic and climatic conditions of Buesaco create an ideal environment for coffee cultivation, resulting in a well-balanced profile of sweetness and acidity. This harvest displays flavors of tart cherry, leading into the juiciness of tangerine, and balanced with a sweet nuttiness reminiscent of nougat.
