Colombia Inza
Our latest washed Colombian coffee brings a refreshing grapefruit acidity, subtle pistachio notes and a sweet caramel finish. We particularly enjoy this as an espresso based drink that mixes well with milk for a delicate and well rounded cup.

Farmers and Community:
Situated 91 km from the capital of the department of Cauca, lies Inzá, a municipality located within the mountains that make up the central Andean mountain range.
The coffee here is grown mainly by the smallholders with an average of 2 hectares each. They loosely group in to 16 communities over 35 villages, and deliver their coffee to Jesus Volveras, the local collector based in town.
Processing:
Jesus has his own farm, which allows him to dry any cherry which is received wet -either at around 20% moisture or closer to 50% moisture depending on the weather conditions. Once dried, they are delivered to the milling facility in Popayan, where beans are graded, cupped and quality controlled.
Our coffees are ethically sourced from green coffee buyers who are committed to excellent coffee, excellent standards and paying their farmers an excellent price. We source, roast, blend and pack the coffee ourselves, to ensure that the coffee makes as few journeys as possible once it has left the farm.
