Colombia
Single origin
100% Arabica Beans
100% organic, fair trade
Full bodied with malt and vanilla flavours. This is a well balanced coffee, acidity is present but not overwhelming. Sweet lingering aftertaste.
WHY SINGLE ORIGIN?
Enjoy Single origin coffee for the purity and high quality. Unblended coffee tells a story about its origin through its flavour.
Roasters Notes – We have chosen a medium roast for this Colombian Coffee. This develops the caramel sweetness but preserves the beans unique malty flavour.
Words from a Colombian Coffee Farmer:
Gunchigwey Torres, member of ANEI since 2006. Co-Op - ANEI - Asociacion de Productores Agroecologicos Indigenas y Campesinos de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta...
“If I sell my coffee to the coyotes I don’t get any other benefit than in the moment I sell my coffee to them. As a member of ANEI, I can also gain extra benefits for my community.”
“I’ve had some financial help from ANEI which has allowed me to improve my coffee production. I used to have a small wooden box in which to wash and ferment my coffee. I’d often have to pulp my coffee, and then put it into bags until more space would become available and I could start it fermenting properly. My coffee quality has definitely improved as a result.”
“With the time I now save processing my coffee, I can pay more attention to ensuring that my coffee dries properly, and can do more work on the rest of my farm.”
“We’ve had other benefits through ANEI, including the piping of water to the local school. We’ve also started a chicken farm, to provide eggs and meat for the community.”
These are the success stories from supporting Fairly Traded coffee. When we buy direct through Fair Trade agreements the money is going directly to the community and supporting the farmers who grow our beans.
