WHY WE LIKE IT
Last October 2023 we traveled to Colombia to visit the Huila region with Jean and Juan Felipe from OPCE and Bryan Smith, there they introduced us to Javier Alvear and his entire family. Bryan represents the SATUS associative group, an umbrella under which 60 families produce differentiated coffees. Javier Alvear and his family are part of this group, and on their farm they grow this varietal that we finally have in our ranks and that already has a legion of fans.The Ají varietal is very characteristic, with a tingling sensation that reminds us of cinnamon, sweet and spicy at the same time. In this case, through the natural process, that spicy character is complemented by notes of butter and passion fruit, and the soft acidity of raspberry. A gift for the palate.
You can also find it in its washed version
