Colombia El Indio

Introduction: For the past few weeks we've been keeping this very special coffee a secret because.... it's incredible and we were being selfish... That said we have a very limited amount of stock left and want to let you in on our little secret. Hope you enjoy! Cupping Notes: Passion Fruit, Wine, Orange Importer Farm Information: Produced by ASOPEP members. ASOPEP is an association of growers in Planadas, Tolima committed with quality and to minimise environmental damage due to coffee production. We have been working with this association for two and a half years and we are impressed with the community programs. They have certified almost 100% of their members as organic. Also, the coop runs workshops at their labs every weekend for young people to learn how to cup. There is a huge desire among many young people in Planadas to learn this skill. ASOPEP association is composed of 175 coffee farming families. The Tolima region is one of Colombia´s most productive coffee growing regions and in the last 10 years they have always been represented in Cup of Excellence along with every single coffee competition run by the Colombian Coffee Federation. This coffee is a blend of naturally processed coffees dried at ASOPEP communal drying station. Growers deliver their cherries to ASOPEP were the cherries are hand sorted, fermented and then placed on raised beds or concrete patios until 11% moisture content is achieved.
