As we got to know it better with our initial production roasts we noticed honey-like body with flavors of cashew, dried pineapple and...

Our first stop was Monserrate, in Huila. This mountain-top town is home to over 80 families who produce coffee on their modest hillside land. The producers here only recently started growing coffee, and chose to do so because...
