El Pedregal

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 Fidencio Castillo and his farm El Pedregal in San Lorenzo, Nariño. Fidencio has a long history in coffee production. He initially started with just 1500 Caturra and Colombia coffee trees. Thanks to the support of his wife Esmeralda Guerrero, his 5 daughters, and his neighbours, his farm now has over 20 000 coffee trees in production.

Most residents in the area have been weary of growing coffee due to the low temperatures. Despite this challenge, valuable resources such as the Juanambú stream is accessible to El Pedregal. An ecosystem of different trees at the farm draws from this stream and work together to preserve the soil, and protect the plantation from harsh winds. Fidencio and his family's immense efforts to preserve the land has enabled them to continue their passion for coffee production year after year.

The resulting cup reminds us of cranberry, orange zest, and dried fig.

Voici mon 3e sac Th3rdwave de septembre : L'El Pedregal de Roasti (Edmonton). Ce café colombien de Nariño est constitué de Caturra lavé par procédé de miel. Je m'en fais un V60 avec 22g de grain et 350ml d'eau. Une fois moulu, le grain comprends des odeurs très flagrantes d'orange, de fruit rouge et de bonbon aux cerises. En bouche, il possède un profil très fruité de marmelade et de canneberge séchée. Il y a des notes de raisins secs et de figues. Il y a un fond de chocolat au lait marqué de noisette. Il est plutôt acide, mais doux. Excellent café bien fruité avec équilibre bien réussi. La canneberge sort beaucoup, ce qui reste une première pour moi dans le café. Cet univers ne cesse de me surprendre et Roasti sait torréfier comme des maîtres!
