This coffee comes from the steep, high-altitude slopes of Santa Marta in Nariño, Colombia. Grown between 1,900 and 2,100 meters by smallholder farmers committed to traceability and sustainable practices, this small-lot coffee is washed processed using volcanic ash soil. The Castillo varietal produces a smooth-bodied cup with warm, comforting notes of chocolate, maple syrup, and honey.
Based in Rye, New Hampshire but rooted in Colombian heritage, La Mulita was founded by Medellin native Max Pruna who discovered specialty coffee through George Howell in 2015. The roastery exclusively focuses on Colombian single origins from small farms between 2 to 5 acres, paying farmers three times the standard rate for quality beans scoring 84 points and above. Named after the mules that transport coffee cherries down Colombian mountains, they travel annually to Colombia to maintain direct relationships with producers and roast in small batches to ensure exceptional freshness. Won WMUR Viewers Choice Best Coffee in NH 2021.
