This coffee is produced by members of the AMUCAFLOME Association (Association of Women Coffee Growers from Florida and Mesones communities) in southern Tolima, Colombia. The coffee grows at approximately 1700 meters altitude and is made from a field blend of Castillo, Colombia, Caturra, and Pink Bourbon varieties. It is processed using the washed method: de-pulped, fermented for 16-18 hours, washed, and then sun-dried on patios, roofs, and raised beds for 7-10 days. The cup profile features a syrupy body with notes of brown sugar and plums.
Tereza and Jon founded Curve Coffee Roasters in early 2016 in Margate, Kent, after meeting while working at a small London roastery. Jon first encountered specialty coffee while working at a high end equipment store in Sweden and went on to become a head roaster. Tereza's focus lies in responsible sourcing, ethical marketing, and sustainability across the supply chain. The roastery started at the back of a Margate cafe and has grown to a team of 15 with a customer base extending across Kent, London, and beyond. Sourcing runs on direct partnerships, including with El Zapoteco Cafe in the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca, Mexico, and the Colombian exporter Siruma. The preference is for showcasing individual coffee profiles rather than blending.
