• A great Colombia, with great attention to detail. This washed coffee is double fermented, once in the cherries for 24 hours, and once after depulping for another 24 hours, then on to its final wash and sun drying.

  This produces a great clean cup with Brown Sugar notes up front, and the Apricot opening up and lingering on the central palate.

• "For many years, Tolima has remained hidden in plain sight cradled between other well-known coffee growing regions because armed conflict and coca leaf production isolated small coffee producers and exposed them to high rates of violence. During this time the municipality of Planadas, located in the southernmost corner of Tolima, had remained an untapped source of specialty coffee where thousands of producers have been cultivating coffee on just a few acres of land intercropped with shade trees, bananas, corn, beans and sugarcane."
