A Colombia whose taste errs more towards a top Kenya? That’s something we like to see on the cupping table. And that’s what happened this morning. Usually coffees go through a couple rounds of test batches where we tweak the roast to make sure we’re getting the optimum out of the bean - but this time, we were so impressed with the El Mirador we knew we had to push forward with it. Sourced through Coocentral, a cooperative operating in Central Huila, this coffee comes from the farm of Nelson Velasco, El Mirador, which sits at 1760 masl in Pital - a subregion of Huila. Fermented on a tile tank for 3 days after washing, this Castillo is bright and crisp with notes of mirabelle plum and orange, with a brown sugar finish. Being a member of Coocentral helps farmers exponentially; from healthcare support to infrastructure development on farms, as well as housing and supporting university educations.
