This is a single-variety lot consisting entirely of Yellow Bourbon, sourced from a group of ten smallholder famers in the La Argentina, Oporapa, and San Agustin municipalities of the Huila department. Producers in this area handpick their cherries and use a traditional washed process. 

The region of Ayarza is a special one, landmarked by the drastic landscape and cold blue water from the Laguna de Ayarza and Laguna Azul. The lake was formed by two massive volcanos that collapsed and formed a large crater. The legends surrounding this lake are numerous, like the one that says the bottom has never been found, or the large white rock that resembles a petrified woman who didn’t follow the orders of Jesus.

Colasay is located south of Jaen. A single variety of Bourbon comprises 80-90 percent of this area’s production. We try to avoid blending this variety, so we have set up a local buying station here in order to source and manage lot bulking. Solid post-harvesting and the unique variety of Bourbon ensure that the quality of the product here is reliably good. Our price premiums are stimulating growth in local participation, which we hope will lead to an increase in volume this season.

This comité has the privilege of being surrounded by beautiful landscapes and virgin mountains. The climate for this area is a bit chilly, which allows for a slightly longer drying process. Visiting this group is very dependent on dry roads; any rain usually means that access to the area is not possible. Most of the farms require about 2.5 hours of hiking to reach, although some are accessible by motorcycle."

We are an organic certified coffee roaster. We have been roasting coffee in Ithaca, NY since 1982. Our roasts are profile roasted to expose the unique flavors and aromas inherent, and to develop sweetness. We strive to maintain a clean, balanced acidity while minimizing the impact of the roast.
