Colombia is the second largest producer of coffee in the world and the largest producer of washed and Arabica coffee, and I don't think there's a coffee that smells more like coffee than Colombian. The complex aroma is a cocoa molasses cookie. The cup is very rich and velvety, like a Brazil nut. The finish lingers with sweet pecan praline.

Our Colombia Nariño Supremo coffee comes from small family owned farms in the growing region in the department of Nariño, Colombia. The main harvest is between April to August, and the “mitaca” (mid-year) harvest is between December and February. Small coffee producers pick and process their coffee at their own micro-wet mills and then dry their own coffee, typically on elevated tables inside solar dryers that provide protection from the rain.
