In 2012, Catholic Relief Services launched the Borderlands project to connect coffee growers in Nariño with the specialty market, offering farmers who had been divided by regional conflict a new path to prosperity through collaboration. Agrocafe El Tambo is one of the farmer associations that emerged from this effort. They chose to brand their coffee as Nuevo Amanecer, Spanish for “New Dawn,” as a nod to the paradigm shift. Each year, we reserve the highest-scoring coffees from the participating associations exclusively for our 2-bag Single Origin subscribers. This year, Nuevo Amanecer was a standout, with syrupy sweetness and complex interplay of pomegranate and red-grape tones. Pronunciation: New-wAY-VO Ah-mON-Es-Sare Show more
