Bean Source Region: Cauca
Coffee from Cauca is celebrated for its exceptional quality and distinctive flavor profiles. This region's unique microclimates and high altitudes create the perfect conditions for cultivating coffee with vibrant acidity, complex fruit notes, and a smooth, velvety body. Cauca is home to some of the world's most creative and innovative coffee producers. These farmers employ cutting-edge techniques, such as extended fermentation processes and anaerobic processing, to enhance and diversify the flavors of their beans.
Organic
Organic coffee is produced without synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, and artificial fertilizers. Instead, organic coffee farmers rely on natural and sustainable agricultural practices like crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control. To be labeled as organic, coffee must meet strict regulations and certification criteria set by governing bodies, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the European Union (EU). Organic coffee not only supports environmental sustainability but may also offer health benefits, as it contains fewer chemical residues than conventionally grown coffee.
