About This Coffee

This organic Colombian coffee comes from Finca Orgánica San Sebastián, located in Alto de Aratoca near the Chicamocha Canyon in the Santander region at 1850 meters altitude. The coffee is shade-grown across 22 hectares of pristine forest and has been produced by the Arciniegas family for over 30 years using organic farming methods. The unique microclimate influenced by the Chicamocha Canyon contributes to larger beans with exceptional flavor profiles. This washed-process coffee features varieties including Castillo, Tabi, Colombia Amarillo, and Geisha. It presents tasting notes of toffee and canela (cinnamon) with an intense, full flavor profile. The coffee has an SCA score of 83.

Nerja Coffee Roasters

Kerry Patten, originally from Ireland, and her husband Wesley moved to southern Spain in May 2022 and founded Nerja Coffee Roasters in the coastal town of Nerja on the Costa del Sol. Kerry brings a long international career in coffee; Wesley's background is in economics and financial mathematics. The roastery is certified organic and works exclusively with Fairtrade and specialty grade beans from Africa and South America, roasting in small batches with no added chemicals or preservatives. They sell online, through a subscription service, and at farmers' markets along the Costa del Sol and in Granada. Their sourcing includes Colombian beans from smallholder cooperatives in the Nariño region and Costa Rican coffee from CoopeTarrazú's women's project.
