About the region
Sourced meticulously from premier estates in the Popayan region, this coffee hails from a place where Colombian coffee shines. The southern reaches of Popayan, proximate to the Panamanian border, are renowned for cultivating coffee, primarily on small family-owned farms. While Popayan boasts a storied history of coffee production, its ascent to becoming one of the world’s most coveted coffee-growing locales is a relatively recent development. The farmers of Popayan have embarked on a transformative journey, transitioning from cultivating high-yield crops to exclusively nurturing micro-lots that demand heightened care and commitment.
This shift in approach has empowered these farmers to redirect their energies toward cultivating the coffee with unwavering attention, prioritizing quality over quantity. The cultivation takes place beneath a canopy of shade, and the beans are lovingly sun-dried, encapsulating the essence of this evolving coffee landscape.
