This is a single origin coffee from Colombia, specifically from the Nariño department in the municipality of El Tablón de Gómez. The coffee is produced by the Garcia family at elevations between 1700 and 2000 meters above sea level. It is processed using the washed method, with fermentation lasting 15 to 17 hours followed by 8 to 12 days of drying on raised beds. The coffee features Castillo and V. Colombia varieties and presents tasting notes of cranberry, marzipan, and banana.
Carrier Roasting Co. was founded in 2011 by Ben Doxtator in Northfield, Vermont. The roastery operates a vintage Probat L12, producing lighter roast profiles designed to highlight origin characteristics in small batches. Sourcing is built on direct trade relationships with personal connections to farmers and importers, and the range includes single origin coffees and seasonal micro lots. Vermont Magazine named Carrier the best coffee roaster in the state. The café at Depot Square serves espresso, pour over, and retail beans, and the wholesale side supplies cafés and restaurants throughout Vermont.
