Carnival Curiosities, Maria Omaira - Colombia - Passionfruit, Raspberry, Honey

Roaster notes: "We have been loving drinking this coffee, it has been the massive winner in our weekly blind coffee tastings.  This coffee is complex, elegant, floral, with a gentle melon and kiwi finish.  Simply it is super delightful and needs to be tried.  We have been enjoying this coffee as a pour over and brewed with our AeroPress".

The Story of La Mejor Taza de Nariño

Every year, coffee growers from across the mountains of Nariño choose the very best coffee from their harvest and bring it together for La Mejor Taza de Nariño – The Best Cup of Nariño.

Over several days, each coffee is tasted by expert judges before the highest scoring lots are offered at a live auction to roasters from around the world.

This year, Juan travelled to Colombia to cup the finalist coffees and take part in the auction. Surrounded by the farmers who had grown them, we were lucky enough to secure three beautiful Geisha lots to bring home to Carnival.

Each coffee tells the story of a family, a farm and a year of hard work. We're honoured to share them with you.
