This honey processed Colombia coffee comes to us from an indigenous community called the Inga, who were part of the northernmost Inca empire, which colonized the south of Colombia in the late 14th century. Land here is communal, and the population is ruled by a “cabildo” or group of elders who make sure ancestral traditions are upheld. The population of this area have unfortunately been affected by earthquakes in recent years and have turned to specialty coffee to help produce income for the region. Most coffees from Colombia are processed using the traditional washed method. This lot, however, goes through a more complex honey process that involves leaving the bean to dry in its mucilage for 20-45 days, using the heavy, cold winds of the region to help promote an even drying process. I roasted this beautiful coffee medium, paying close attention to its profile properties, ensuring to highlight and preserve its sweetness. The aroma and flavor is incredible! Show more
