Coffee description: All the producers that make up this lot are small producers who seek to consolidate their work based on quality with agro-ecological practices. The producers have difficulties in production since they do not have the appropriate tools, as well as optimal fermentation tanks and large drying areas. Finding manpower is the most important factor affecting the area, since the collection area is far from other cities and the roads are difficult to access.

Flavors remind us of Chocolate, burnt sugar, and apple.

Green coffee transparency: 1518lbs @ $4.25/lb, September 2023 (Commodity coffee price: $1.65/lb. Why is this important? Coffee pricing is complex and multifaceted, and sharing what we paid is an incomplete picture, but we believe in sharing the data we have available, hoping that will embolden others to do the same, with the ultimate goal of getting producers fairer pay for their excellent work.)
