Nestled high up in the Andean mountains at 1,800 to 2,100masl, Finca San Francisco benefits from cool temperatures and volcanic soil, allowing slow cherry maturation to enhance sweetness and complexity. He chose washed processing to highlight the incredible terroir of this lot, which shines in a layered cup profile featuring notes of dark chocolate, caramel, fig, grape, and citrus.

Nariño Green Coffee Beans
Coffee from Nariño, Colombia, is celebrated for its bright acidity, complex sweetness, and well-balanced cup profile, influenced by the region’s high altitudes, rich volcanic soil, and unique microclimate. Due to its proximity to the equator, Nariño experiences intense daytime sunlight and cold nighttime temperatures, enhancing sugar development and depth of flavor in coffee cherries. Smallholder farmers, like those in El Tambo, meticulously cultivate and process their coffee using washed, natural, and honey methods, ensuring clarity, cleanliness, and quality in every cup.
