Colombia Cauca Inzá Sotará
Description
Our Colombia Cauca Inzá Sotará comes to us from producers in the Inzá and Sotará municipalities in the department of Nariño, Colombia. This lot was produced by 14* small family owned farms that work in conjunction with Colombian export company Banexport.
Family owned farms are the backbone of Colombian coffee production. Farms in an area will band together to create a crop, then with the help of an export company they can get their coffees to a larger market. This model of collaboration between the farmers produces traceable community blends with vibrant regional profiles. Each producer designs their own farm management and post-harvest solutions to fit their needs and has their own micro-mill. At the individual mills cherries are carefully harvested, depulped, fermented, washed, then gently dried on raised beds or inside solar dryers that provide protection from rain. The alliance with Banexport provides farmers with crucial logistical support for things like warehousing and milling coffee for export to the international market. They also assist producers by giving them access to technical support for best practices for farm management, help processing harvests and cupping feedback to help check and improve coffee quality. These types of assistance really help to increase income for everyone, allowing producers to reinvest in their farms and strengthen family livelihoods.
Nice aroma with nuances of milk chocolate, cocoa and marshmallows, with a hint of stone fruits. In the cup, aroma nuances follow through; milk chocolate, cocoa, marshmallow, and hints of caramel, peach, and apricot. Creamy, smooth medium body. A well balanced cup!
