A classically bright washed Caturra from one of our longest-standing Direct Trade partners. The growing conditions at Finca Santa Maria in the Nariño region are unique. Long hours of sunlight and hot springs allow the coffee trees to grow in higher, colder altitudes. This leads to a bean we value for its great level of sweetness and acidity.
