Colombia Buesaco Río Juanambú

The Rio Juanambú is a tributary originating high up in the Cordilleras Central mountain range, and passes through Nariño's Buesaco Municipality where several of the growing areas we are currently buying from are located. This particular lot is made up of coffee from 3 different farms in Buesaco region that we found to have a lot in common in the cup. We generally organize the selections from these trips by location, flavor matrix, and of course producer if there's a coffee we feel needs to shine on it's own and is sizable enough to where this makes sense. In this case, we felt the coffees complimented each other as a whole, and blended them together. Most farms are planted in a mix of Caturra, Variedad Colombia, and you also see Typica trees peppered throughout. This area is in close proximity to the equator and it's normal to see coffee grown above the 2000 meter mark. This is a wet-processed coffee, farmers using old style hand-cranked or small machine-ran de-pulpers, fermenting and washing in the same tank, and then drying out on raised, covered beds.
