Colombia Narino Organic Washed
About This Coffee
The Region
The Narino department in South-West Colombia is renowned for its coffee quality, but also for having a high concentration of smallholder farmers with a low average farm area of 1.13 ha. This means that coffee generally receives a high level of care and attention to maximise quality and yield. 35 of the 62 municipalities in the Narino department are coffee producing.
Because of its location, Narino has rich environmental diversity and a broad range of different ecosystems in which coffee can be cultivated. With altitudes of up to 2,300masl, coffees can mature slowly, producing a profile with distinct citric acidity and sweet chocolate and caramel notes.
The Process
This coffee uses a traditional washed process. Ripe coffee cherries are selected and then pulped to remove the fruit. The coffee is then fermented for 24 hours in cement tanks to break down the sugary mucilage and improve the cup. After fermentation the coffee is washed thoroughly to remove the mucilage and then dried in parchment for 15-20 days in a marquensinha (a specialised drying marquee). Once the coffee has reached the optimal moisture content it is rested, before being transported to the dry mill for hulling, sorting and grading. It is finally bagged in GrainPro for export.
