Organic Colombia Narino El Cielo

Small farmers produce this coffee in the municipality of La Union in Narino. Narino has always produced some of the most complex coffees in Colombia. Different factors contribute to this, very high altitude, proximity to the Pacific Ocean, and the cannon that cross the area create a perfect crossover of weather and temperature, enabling the ideal climate that allows for a slow maturation of cherries and a full development of flavors. The average size of a farm in La Union is between 2 to 4 hectares. Family members manage them, taking care of the picking, de-pulping, and patio drying in farm premises and delivering parchment to dry mill for final sorting and classification of quality. Because of the high altitude of the farms,(5700 ft above sea level), the producers in the area often refer to their farms as pieces of heaven on earth; therefore, they name this lot El Cielo. All these factors result in a sweet cup with a clean finish and complex citrus notes.
