Organic Fair Trade Colombian Coffee – Nariño Single Origin, Whole Bean or Ground, 5 lb

Organic, Fair Trade Colombia from 117 small producers in Nariño organized around Ecoterra SAS: a well-rounded medium roast with notes of limeade, pomelo, cantaloupe, honey and chocolate and bright, fresh acidity. It shines as filtered drip. Sold in a 5 lb bag, whole bean or ground.

Centri Coffee buys this lot through importer Royal Coffee. It is a traceable community blend from producers in La Unión, San Pedro de Cartago, Arboleda and San Lorenzo, who farm about one acre each. Every producer runs a micro-mill to harvest, depulp, ferment, wash and dry the parchment on raised beds.

Centri calls it equal parts familiar and adventurous, and its new all-day drinking coffee.
