This coffee comes from Nariño, Colombia — a region nestled in the Andes Mountains.
Nariño is a land of striking contrasts, from high-altitude Andean plateaus to lush tropical forests and the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The area’s volcanic soils, enriched by the eruptions of the Galeras volcano, provide ideal conditions for growing exceptional coffee. These nutrient-rich grounds, combined with the region’s altitude and climate, produce beans known for their bright acidity and complex flavors. Today, coffee from Nariño stands as both a cornerstone of the local economy and a distinguished representative of Colombia’s global coffee reputation.
