The story

Origin & Journey

The blend combines various microlots from different areas of the rural part of the Nariño department.

The Nariño region is known for its volcanic soils, rich in organic matter and minerals. The diverse thermal soils allow coffee cultivation at altitudes between 1700 and 2300 meters. The landscape is dotted with steep gorges, where winds from lower valleys create favorable conditions for coffee growth.

The main coffee-producing municipalities include Buesaco, San José de Albán, Tablón de Gómez, La Unión, Consacá, Yacuanquer, and Tangua. The main harvest season in the region usually takes place between April and October, but climate change over the past four years has led to more dispersed production throughout the year, with secondary harvests, known as *mitaca* or *traviesa*, occurring in most parts of the region.

The most commonly grown coffee varieties in the region remain those that have been established there for a long time, such as Caturra, Bourbon, Typica, Colombia, and Castillo.

One of the most distinctive features of coffee cultivation in Nariño is that farmers work on small plots of land, averaging 2 to 3 hectares in size. This is family-run coffee production, focused on preserving traditional cultivation and processing techniques.

Coffee from Nariño offers a unique experience, combining quality, tradition, and flavor that reflects the dedication of local farmers and the richness of the region. Let it transport you into a world of premium coffee flavors!
