SYNOPSIS

As in other parts of Nariño, work in the country side is very demanding due to technological underdevelopment. Roads are not paved. This makes life and mobilization in the country side difficult.

Guillermo is 42 years old and lives at the 2 hectares farm with his wife and two daughters. The family is carefully taking care of the farm throughout the year.

Harvest takes place during June and July each year and there is all year round work related to the farm. The soil at the farm is volcanic, high in acidity and rich in nutrients. Due to these conditions, the Caturra trees develop their non-expected characteristics and benefit profoundly from this soil.

Semi-shade banana plantain trees and citrus fruit is co-grown with the coffee trees. This has an impact on the flavor development which advances the unique citric acidity. During our roasting of this minimal harvest, we experienced unique aromas of ripe pineapple and comb honey.

This is one of the smallest farms we work with. The harvest is very limited and we fully support the farm by buying the complete harvest. Arranged by our dear friend Juliana Bravo Bedoya with family.
