Farmed by Emmanuel Enciso, it is produced by 30-45 independent producers in the mountains of Tolima through a community processing station. The coffee is a blend variety processed using the washed method. It is USDA Certified Organic and features a modern version of a traditional washed Colombian coffee carrying subtle fruity notes with a touch of cocoa. Flavor notes include red fruit, sweet citrus, and a touch of cocoa.
