This single origin coffee is from Colombia, specifically from El Silencio in the Huila region, grown by farmer Nelson Cordoba at 1800 meters elevation. The coffee is 100% Caturra variety and processed using the washed method. Nelson is a member of Los Guácharos, a group of dedicated producers employing land-first cultivation and growing practices. The coffee offers tasting notes of pistachio, plum, and cream, with sweet, clean cups and balanced, subtle fruit characteristics.
Run by a small group of friends and family in Victoria, British Columbia, Bows Coffee Roasters centers its work around direct trade relationships with producers, particularly in Guatemala. Their Torch Song cafe in downtown Victoria and a dedicated roastery on Garbally Road provide two distinct spaces for the community to engage with their coffee. Ethical sourcing and support for vulnerable farming communities are core to the business, not just marketing language. Rotating single origins and precision roasting ensure that each release reflects both the producers' hard work and the team's dedication to craft.
