SYNOPSIS

The volcanoes are active and the terrain is very precipitous. Nariño’s cold temperatures enables the coffee to grow slow and generates additional sugars that lead to an elegant coffee.

Franco Machavajoy is a 65 year old coffee grower and is very famous in the town of Matituy. His father passed on the 4 hectares farm where only Catarra trees grow. Franco lives at the farm with his wife Maria who is always assisting with the coffee during the harvest season and also with maintenance. On the farm we also find shaded plantains and guava. Harvest occurs in June and July each year. Drying is completed on raised beds for 16 days.

Nariño’s cold temperatures enables the coffee to grow slow and generates additional sugars that lead to an elegant coffee. These are profound in the flavor development during roasting. Today, the region is highly respected for its coffee dedicated producers, quality and innovation. Nariño is an area that has been hit by violence and drug trafficking for many years.

This harvest is arranged by our dear friend Juliana Bravo Bedoya with family.
