COLOMBIA TOLIMA GAITANI

Founded on April 22nd, 2007 in Gaitani, Tolima (South-Central Colombia), by a group of 84 families with the goal of finding new markets and increased international recognition of their coffee. They also aim to eventually transition to 100% organic production and are working to continually promote intercropping and alternative agriculture. As part of the organic transition, the group is pursuing wastewater management and reforestation projects using the premiums earned through specialty coffee production and participation in national and international ferias such as the Cup of Excellence (Mrs. Edith Enciso Yass, the current vice president of ACEDGA, had the winning coffee at COE 2006).

Grown at an altitude ranging from 1400 to 2000 meters. Primary varietal is Caturra and a small portion of other varied Colombia. The coffee is fully-washed with local stream water and sun dried on canopied drying platforms. Meticulously sorted and ready for your enjoyment.

The coffee has a smoothness that is unmistakable. Subtle chocolate and nut flavors with hints of fruit and floral. The finish is so smooth and delightful you just might brew another pot to last the day. Roast to full-city.
