ABOUT
Colsuaves’ Popayán coffee comes from the region called “Meseta de Popayán” (Popayán plateau) in the Colombian department of Cauca. Beautiful and rugged landscapes, cool and rainy climate as well as an abundance of Indian settlements and ancient archeological sites characterize this area of southwest Colombia. Located on the eastern side of the highest mountain range in the country, this magnificent region enjoys high altitudes, moderate slopes and fertile, volcanic soils. These unique climatic and soil characteristics levered by the pride and hard work of small coffee producers result in one of the finest coffees in all of Colombia. Since most of the coffee in Popayan, and in Colombia for that matter, is produced in small farms, Colsuaves sources most of its coffee from mills and producer groups in the region. These coffees are usually pulped, washed and sun dried in the farms before being pooled together into larger lots.
Tasting Notes
Supremo – Prunes, buttery notes in aroma. Raspberry in flavour, hints of red apple with a lingering chocolaty finish.
