Our selection of dark & distinctive coffees:
Colombia Narino Dark
Our popular Colombia Narino coffee is roasted a bit darker to mellow the brightness and add a touch of sweet smokiness to the aroma and flavor.
Creamy and smooth-bodied with a smoky aroma and well-balanced flavor. The coffee has enough character to stand up to the darker roast and still show its personality. While not as dark a roast as the French Roast, the roast develops some caramel and bittersweet finish to compliment the underlying coffee.
Place
The State of Narino, Southern Colombia. Grown in all of the communities surrounding the active Galeras volcano, on slopes whose elevation often rises above 6,000 feet.
People
The predominantly Catholic people of Southern Colombia warm, friendly, and their commitment to coffee has been a strong for generations. Their farms are small and families themselves comprise the labor with occasional help from their neighbors.
Process
Due to the large growing area and extended crop cycle, coffees are washed, fermented and dried by the individual farmers. Once enough coffee is collected, it is taken to Trilladora Narino in the city of Pasto, for final processing, sorting and grading.
