Grown by smallholder farmers in Tablón de Gómez, Nariño, this coffee comes from a remote municipality nestled in the eastern highlands of the Nariño department. Located about two hours from Buesaco, a region celebrated for its exceptional micro-lots, Tablón de Gómez is known for its rugged Andean terrain, rich indigenous heritage, and cool, rainy climate - ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality coffee. The area is also culturally significant, home to mystical stone statues from the pre-Columbian era and other important archaeological sites that reflect the deep ancestral roots of the region. The mountainous topography and lower temperatures allow the coffee cherries to ripen slowly, enhancing their sweetness and complexity. Due to frequent rainfall, the drying process is extended, with coffees typically requiring 20 to 25 days to fully dry. This lot was produced by farmers who are members of both the Terra Association and the Cafés Especiales de Nariño Cooperative, two organisations committed to sustainable practices, quality-driven production, and empowering local communities.
