Arboleda

Nariño is a southwestern department of Colombia, bordered by Ecuador and the Pacific Ocean. The volcanic soil from the Andes gives this region a strong agricultural sector. The Andean highlands have ideal coffee growing condition, whereas the Pacific lowlands' main crop is banana.

This coffee is sourced from 18 farmers in Arboleda, Nariño. These producers use a double fermentation method often found in Colombia: an initial fermentation is done in cherry for 36-48 hours, before de-pulping and another 30-50 hours fermentation in tanks. The coffees are then sun-dried, usually on patios, for 15-20 days.

The resulting cup reminds us of cherry, cocoa and honey.
