About this coffee

This is our oldest direct relationship, with first purchase back in 2016. One of the first projects with our sourcing/import partner This Side Up. Back then it was from JP Argote. Production, harvest, wet- and dry-milling are all done by the Argote family. Produced without pesticides, the Argote family inspects all coffee trees visually for signs of leaf rust. Transition to regenerative agroforestry on its way. Actively creating a village of specialty coffee producers.

As the sales of their coffee grew, more of the surrounding farmers joined the project. Since 2019, we have decided to buy the coffee from a single farmer of the Argote group: Jesus Ceron, until last year we included Marcel Ordoñez. This year, we have strengthened our relationship with Marcel Ordoñez, bringing again his Pink Bourbon but also a very special coffee, the very first harvest of his Sidra.

Marcel belongs to the younger generation of Argote farmers in this district. He is a very active member in the local specialty coffee scene. Last year he organised a specialty coffee contest to which more than 100 farmers submitted coffees. We are one of his first direct relationships. He is eager to understand our needs and the specialty market. He is experimenting with different varieties. He also runs a nursery and supports Argote farmers to diversify by planting alternate varieties.

This double-fermented washed Pink Bourbon lot is very clean and complex, with notes of grapefruit, nougat, and orange blossom.
