Natalia was among the few producers we had the chance to interact with throughout our trip to San Augustin in 2024. Her entire family to some degree is completely dedicated to the craft of specialty coffee. In fact, each of the extended family members has domain over individual farms throughout the region. This vibrant lot of coffee comes from Natalia's farm and is processed to amplify the intricate fruited notes. There’s notes of funky fermentation that are excellently integrated into the sweet and complex profile.

Colombia

The country of Colombia (not Col-um-bia) boasts some pretty extraordinary claims to fame.

It is the world’s leading exporter of emeralds–exporting 70-90% of the world’s supply. It is the world's second most biodiverse country–with more species of bird than in Europe and North America combined. It has the world's tallest palm trees (up to 200 feet tall!) and the world’s most colorful “rainbow” river (Caño Cristales).

It is also the third largest producer of specialty coffee in the world, preceded only by Brazil and Vietnam. But it didn’t arrive at that place overnight.
