Description
Coffee cultivation from small family owned farms is the backbone of production in Colombia. Banexport, a Colombian export company, works directly with many of these producers who have a shared commitment for exquisite coffee processing, and loving care for their farms and the environment. Banexport helps producers gain access to technical support regarding best practices for farm management, processing the harvest, and cupping feedback, which helps producers improve the quality of their coffee. The model of collaborative effort produces traceable community blends with vibrant regional profiles.
Processing Details
This lot comes from 7 producers with small farms in the municipalities of Arboleda and Berruecos within the department of Nariño. Each producer has their own micro-mill where they carefully harvest cherries, macerate the cherries overnight, then depulp, ferment, wash and gently dry the parchment on raised beds.
Exporting Details
While individual producers have designed farm management and post-harvest solutions to fit their needs, the strong alliance with Banexport provides crucial logistical support for things like warehousing and milling coffee for export to the international market, which provides better income for everyone to reinvest in their farms and strengthen their families’ livelihoods.
Tasting Notes: Great from light to dark roasts. Lighter roast points are very jazzy with brighter features, citric mixing with a little sweet hint of a fruit tone, pulling some balance with a bit of nuttiness. Medium roasts get fuller bodied and smoother, slightly chocolaty with less crisp citric/floral tones than the lighter roast points. Darker roasts will kill most of the crisp acidity but will retain a little hint of fruit as the cup cools. Much more chocolaty and robust at the darker roast points.
Roasting Notes: Pretty even roasting, medium to low chaff, a very versatile bean in the roaster. Good from light to dark but most will like a solid medium roast the best, good balance and smooth edges. Light roasts are equally as tasty but a little more on the acidic side, darker roasts are a much stronger cup and pick up some roasty tones but it compliments the cup nicely.
