The absolutely delicious Red Caturra from father / son duo, Olgar Ortega Bolaños and Esnaider Ortega Gomez, is back for an eighth season! Though we’ve featured this coffee in the past under their family name (Familia Ortega Gomez), Esnaider requested we change the title this year to honor the hard work of his father - whose name has never before been featured internationally on a retail bag.
The Monkaaba producer group is like nothing we’ve ever seen before. It’s continually an inspiration to us, and we’re honored to serve coffees from Esanider, Olgar, and Didier, year after year. They’ve created a fully autonomous collective of coffee growers who are working together, sharing knowledge, and developing the agency necessary to navigate the world of specialty coffee on their own.
Coffees from Olgar Ortega are consistently classic and delicious. This lot in particular is a near-ideal representation of coffee from the Huila region. We’re tasting: cherry, raspberry, red grape, apple juice, vanilla, nougat, sugarcane, caramel, coca cola, sweet black tea, baking spices.
