## What the Brand Says

> Last October 2023 we traveled to Colombia to visit the Huila region with Jean and Juan Felipe from OPCE and Bryan Smith, there they introduced us to Javier Alvear and his entire family. Bryan represents the SATUS associative group, an umbrella under which 60 families produce differentiated coffees. Javier Alvear and his family are part of this group, and on their farm they grow this varietal that we finally have in our ranks and that already has a legion of fans. The Ají varietal is very characteristic, with a soft spicy and fruity character. Its tingling reminds us of cinnamon, sweet and spicy at the same time. It has a soft acidity of wild fruits and nectarine, and a medium body. It is a brilliant and exceptional coffee.
