Overview
Originating from the mystical municipality of Inzá within the central Andean mountain range, this washed lot reflects the rich biodiversity of the Cauca region. We tasted a profile highlighted by prune, orange, and molasses sweetness, complemented by a full body and pomegranate-like acidity. Grown in volcanic ash soil by farmers including indigenous tribes like the Paeces, this coffee offers a clean, complex experience rooted in one of Colombia's most significant archaeological landscapes.
