This fully washed coffee comes from the Municipality of Inza in Cauca, Colombia, grown at 2000 meters altitude on the Macizo Colombiano plateau. Produced by ASORCAFE, an association of 290 small producers founded in 2003, working on plots between 1.8-2 hectares at altitudes up to 2100 meters. The coffee consists of regional varieties including Caturra, Typica, Bourbon, Tabi, Castillo, and some Pink Bourbon. After harvest, the coffee is pulped and fermented for 20-40 hours, then washed with immatures removed, and dried for 8-15 days in parabolic driers. Cup score of 85.5 with flavor notes of black currant, blood orange, apple, and cantaloupe.
Felix Teiretzbacher founded kaffeelix in 2012, initially to supply his own café before specializing completely in roasting. His approach is to roast coffees relatively light, a method that highlights the unique characteristics of a bean's origin and processing rather than masking them with roasted notes. This dedication has paid off, with Felix winning the World Coffee Roasting Championship in 2022.
