Tasting notes: Approachable bittersweet chocolate, buttery caramel, aromatic raw sugars.
Country of origin: Columbia
Region: Buesaco, Nariño
Process: Washed
Roast level: Full City (Medium)
About the region: This lot is a blend made up from the coffees of five different small producers with coffee farms just outside Buesaco town, in Colombia's Nariño Department. Each individual lot was on the small side to bring in on their own, however together, they totaled 31 bags. This year the exporter we work with opened their own buying warehouse in town in order to have a more direct hand in how the coffee and payments are being managed. It was perhaps the most competitive year for buying in Colombia that we've seen in over a decade, with the local price soaring to nearly double what it was last year.
