This coffee is sourced from 30 small-scale producers in the Matambo project in Gigante, Huila, Colombia. Grown at altitudes between 1500-1900 meters, the coffee benefits from steep mountains, cool winds and distinct light conditions that create ideal microclimates for slow cherry maturation. The coffee features Caturra, Colombia, and Castillo varieties and is fully washed processed. Sourced through Caravela partners, this is Seven Seeds' ninth year purchasing this benchmark Huila coffee. The cup profile is silky, clean and composed with notes of honeycomb, malt, and cherry cola.
Established in 2007 by Mark Dundon and Bridget Amor, Seven Seeds was created to embody the ideals of exceptional and transparent coffee.A pioneer in Melbourne's coffee scene, the company's name honors the story of Baba Budan, who smuggled seven coffee seeds from Yemen, breaking the Arabic world's cultivation monopoly. Their approach is founded on transparency, and since 2018, they have published the "farmgate" price they pay directly to producers. They focus on building partnerships with producers, whom they see as professional colleagues.
