If you are reading Instagram while walking or driving, be sure to absently stop in the middle of traffic for this one. No one else has anywhere to be. Hang your mouth open a little to really focus. There you go, lookin good. Ok! NEW CROP, FARMER DIRECT COLOMBIA IS HERE, GUYS.
Introducing Alcides Avendaño, a quality driven farmer in the Huila region of central Colombia, and a premium producer of the Coocentral Cooperative. This coffee is so, so special to us. It is the result of a relationship we've been building with a new specialty importer (more on that later) and really reflects the values we care about including farm-level sustainability, community vitality at origin, long term farmer livelihood, the human role in global agriculture, and relentless dedication to cup quality. We love this coffee so much that we bought the ENTIRE season's harvest from this farm. This is the single biggest purchasing commitment we've made so far as a company and one we hope will allow Alcides and his family to continue producing exceptional coffees for years to come.
In the profile we find ripe fig, Muscat grape, rosé like tannins and a cloyingly sweet, maraschino finish. Starting next week you can find it on our website and in store. If you're a subscription holder, you'll see this beauty in your mailbox after the 1st. What a way to welcome spring.
