Coffee Story: This coffee comes from the town of La Union, in the Nariño region of Colombia. Nariño is located in the far South of Colombia, near the Andean Peaks and the border with Ecuador. This region has incredibly high elevations, which have a contrast of warm days and cold nights. This temperature fluctuation enables slow fruit maturation, which is highly desirable for producing high quality coffee. High altitude coffee farming also allows for more natural farming methods without the need for pesticides, as very few pests survive the environmental conditions.

This coffee is the Castillo variety of Arabica. The cherries are hand- picked when ripe and left to gently ferment for approximately 24 hours. The coffee cherries are then pulped and soaked underwater for approximately 36 hours. Once the sticky mucilage has broken down, the parchment coffee is then rinsed with clean water and placed on drying racks inside a parabolic dryer, which is like a greenhouse for drying coffee. The benefit of a parabolic dryer is that the conditions, including temperature and air flow, can be controlled and monitored more closely. Alveiro turns the drying parchment coffee frequently to ensure even drying. It takes 10-15 days for the parchment coffee to dry.

This coffee will be roasted fresh for you. Coffee Bird will roast your coffee on Monday or Wednesday and dispatch the following day.
