The Story:
This program is incredibly special for a few reasons. Nariño has the highest altitude at which coffee is grown in Colombia, which means temperatures are quite low. This climate is perfect for the coffee cherry as the bean matures slowly it can have a higher concentration of sugar. Another relevant factor that makes the coffee from this region so unique is the rich soil.
Unlike many regions in Colombia, Nariño’s soil is extraordinarily rich in volcanic ash mainly due to the high volcanic activity in the area. Typically, volcanic ash in the soil is rich in nutrients and contributes to a much healthier plant and higher complexity in the cup. The average size of a farm in the zone we work is approximately less than 1 hectare to 1.5 hectares.
