This week on THURSDAYJust because we won't be open on Friday doesn't mean you have to be without freshly roasted coffee this weekend: we will be sending a 3COURIER to pick up the beans this week.
La Golondrina
Colombia
Cauca
$16.99/lb.
The People... Alejandro Cadena and Giancarlo Ghiretti are two Colombians who dedicate themselves to finding and protecting small lots of great coffee grown in the mountainous region of Cauca. Alejandro and Giancarlo search Cauca for farmers willing to make the strong commitment to quality we need, and immediately send samples from potentially great farms to for analysis. If the coffee meets our standards, we purchase the lot from the small farmer who offered it at many times the local price. In this way, we were able to create a strong incentive for these talented farmers to supply us directly rather than sell it to the local mass-market buyers for homogenization and export.
The Coffee... Caramel, chocolate, black cherry notes. The
body of the coffee is juicy, a reliable Colombian coffee that delivers
satisfaction with a sweet and clean aftertaste.
