They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. Thus our hearts are practically fondue, which is to say warm, gooey, & cheesy, for vivacious Colombian coffee. We couldn't be happier to be back with coffee from Finca La Concepción for a 2nd year in a row! Run by Ana Lucia Dulce, this farm has been in the family for 100 years. It's an usually large farm for both Nariño & for our importing partners, the Coffee Quest, who typically don't work with farms this size. While it's challenging to grow a small quality driven operation, it's something else to switch gears after DECADES of operation. Quality is labor intensive. It took a lot of faith & work for both parties to make this happen- taking time to meet, to consider/trust notes, & map out new operations- and even more work for Ana to implement those changes that very same year. Now once picked, ripe caturra cherries are fermented, milled, fermented again, & washed, creating coffee that is luscious, sweet, & VERY aromatic. 'No small thing. We couldn't have asked for a nicer return to Colombian coffee!  Hope ya enjoy what Ana & co made happen. We do.
