About this coffee :

The Municipality of Inzá in Cauca is an area that sits high on a Colombian plateau called the "Macizo Colombiano." This region is ideal for growing specialty coffee, with altitudes reaching over 2,000 meters above sea level. Inzá is renowned for its indigenous history and coffee production. Its history dates back to 1577 when a Spaniard, Sancho García de Espino, established a camp where Inzá stands today. In 1737, the Jesuits built a church, marking the beginning of the town's growth into streets and houses. The Colombian government officially recognized Inzá as a municipality in 1907.

ASORCAFE, founded on July 11, 2003, in the town of Pedegral in Inzá, currently boasts 290 members. The association was established to help producers organize and sell their coffees as specialty products. It also provides a framework to further their education and improve the economic and social conditions for themselves, their families, and their community.

These small producers work on plots of land between 1.8–2 hectares in size, farming coffee at altitudes up to 2,100 meters above sea level. The farms are planted with Caturra, Typica, Bourbon, Tabi, Castillo, and some Pink Bourbon varieties. Traditionally, the coffee is fully washed. After harvesting, the coffee is pulped and fermented for 20–40 hours, depending on the local environment. The coffee is then washed, with any immature beans removed, and dried for 8–15 days in parabolic dryers, weather permitting.

Siruma, our partners in Colombia, began working with ASORCAFE this year after establishing an initial connection. These coffees were harvested and delivered in late June and July. ASORCAFE delivers samples to Siruma, where they are cupped and assessed for cup quality, ensuring the physical specifications meet our moisture, yield, and cup quality standards. After this, the coffee is delivered to Siruma's warehouse in Manizales, and ASORCAFE is paid immediately for the coffees.

This washed coffee exhibits the wonderful cleanliness of good Colombian coffee. It is very clean and clear, with classic orange juicy notes, a smooth milk chocolate mid-tone, and a finish with hints of hazelnut. It is a wonderful morning coffee to enjoy.
