About this coffee: 

Colombia Nariño — Designed by the Melo Family

This is not a blend in the conventional sense. It is a designed cup — composed by two producers whose philosophies, choices, and decades of experience converge in a single lot.

From Finca El Cairo, run by Lucas Melo, come Caturra and Typica. From Finca Las Islas, run by his nephew Eiver Melo, comes Variedad Colombia. Each variety carries a distinct role:

• Variedad Colombia provides the structural backbone — stable, balanced, dependable.
• Caturra layers in dense sweetness and body.
• Typica, grown at the highest elevations, contributes a delicate aromatic complexity and a clean, lingering finish.

The combination is not a mixture. It is a deliberate composition — each component shaped to complement the texture of the others.

This approach has already proven itself. Built on the same varietal composition and washing protocol, this lot's predecessor placed 5th in the 2018 Colombia Cup of Excellence — a result that affirms the precision behind the Melo family's blending and processing design.

Process
On harvest day, cherries are hand-sorted and floated to remove low-density beans. Primary fermentation runs for 24–35 hours, followed by depulping. A dry secondary fermentation then continues for an additional 24 hours in the mucilage — without water — building sugar concentration while preserving cup clarity. The lot is then washed and slowly dried on raised beds for 10–12 days, finishing as a transparent, crystalline expression of the Nariño highlands.

About Momos Coffee:

Momos Coffee started in 2007 as a small takeaway coffee shop right next to the restaurant where it belonged to his parents. Since then, over the last 17 years, we have sequentially and gradually expanded our business areas, including roastery, education programs, and e-commerce businesses. From seeds to one single cup of coffee we create, we hope everyone who is in this chain industry can pursue better lives.

The very first impression when we experienced the Specialty Coffee industry in Atlanta, in 2009 settled in our hearts and inspired us to keep moving forward over the decades. As a result of more than 10 years of knocking on the door of competition, Joo Yeon Jeon finally earned 1st place, which is known as the most significant competition in 2019, Boston.

Seeking the highest quality has been always our motivation, we started to travel origins, meet people, and do direct trade from the 4 Central American countries in 2011. Through many years of experience, now we are working with more than 16 countries, and more than 130 producers to understand each other and the meaning of long-term relationships and sustainability. We've successfully built this solid relationship through many obstacles and difficulties. And that makes the most important value of us more special to everyone.
