Nectar de Urrao - Colombia

About this coffee

About Nectar de Urrao Urrao is a small town in the Antioquia department in Colombia. It’s the first we’ve procured from this area, which is farther north than other regions we’ve bought Colombian coffees from. We’re excited to share the (coffee) fruits of this area! This coffee is from the Valley of Penderisco community. It’s a communal lot, meaning many producers can receive a premium price for their coffee, no matter how small their crop is. The farmers also receive feedback for every crop so that they can refine growing and processing methods. An important part of the success of these types of lots is very careful quality control. Each separate crop is cupped (tasted) multiple times to make sure it meets quality expectations and ensures consistency. If a coffee doesn’t meet expectations, the farmers still receive feedback in the hopes that their next crop will improve so they can receive the premium prices. This lot features the most iconic variety of this region, Chiroso. It’s known for its complex, delicious profile that has helped put Urrao on the specialty coffee map. We taste smooth and tropical mango, juicy orange, and the fun sweetness of gummy candy. It’s a wonderful Colombian coffee that highlights the benefits of collaboration within a community.
