El Tambo
A mellow, sugary offering, El Tambo was grown by 8 women farmers representing the El Tambo municipality and three other vicinities — Piendamó, Caldono, and Popayán — in Colombia’s Cauca department. This community blend of Castillo and Colombia varieties was supported, selected, and transported by Indiegrow, a social-impact coffee importer/exporter founded in 2020 by Alejandro Vizcaino with aid from the UN Peacebuilding Fund. Smooth, syrupy, and full-bodied, we taste apple sauce, brown sugar, and nutmeg in the cup.
