Underlying caramel sweetness clings to finishing flavors of almond, and cocoa, with tart citrus acidity, and well balanced top notes of praline, panela sugar, and dried fruit. City+ to Full City+.
Full Cupping Notes
The dry fragrance has a toffee brittle smell to it, with mild caramel accents, and hint of raisin. The sweetness in the wet aroma has nice complexity, like barley malt, showing unrefined, grain-like sweetness that builds in the steam. City+ roasting teases out an underlying caramel note in the cup that clings to finishing flavors of almond, and cocoa. A light citrus note highlighted a tart acidic impression that structures the bittersweetness underneath. As the coffee cools, top notes of praline nut, panela sugar, and dried fruit come into play and are well balanced to the base sweetness. Full City roasts draw out more of this coffee's bittersweet side that hints at dark chocolate, and caramel glazed almond. It's a profile that pairs well with milk. However, the lighter body means it's not ideal for espresso.

Origin & Farm Notes
This is a blend made up from the coffees from three small producers in Vereda Alto Naranjal just outside Buesaco town, in Colombia's Nariño Department. We put this blend together after cupping a high volume of samples at the coffee alliance they belong to in Buesaco town, the goal being to separate out any coffees that score 86 points and above, and pay the farmer a high premium for the chance to separate their coffee. The local coffee association was started by two brothers who a few years back stepped out on their own to offer a more direct and transparent option than some of the local competitors. Since we started buying from them, the number of farmers delivering coffee has growing, and we've tasted some truly impressive coffees when cupping at their warehouse on our last visit. Farms are typically planted in Caturra and Variedad Colombia (F4 and F6 types), grown at altitudes between 1700 and 2000 meters, and each contributing lot in this batch are fully washed.
