This coffee is a community lot from Santa Marta, a small coffee farming community located in the Nariño department in the south of Colombia. The lot is comprised of lots from 10 small farms located between 1,900 and 2,100 meters above sea level. It is a washed coffee with full bodied sweetness and notes of baked apple and vanilla.
