About This Coffee

Clavel growers hail from the Nasa We’sx indigenous community in the San Pedro vereda, south of Gaitania – a hard to reach place with difficult terrain and known as the birthplace of the FARC insurgent movement. But this is a more recent history, and not one that applies to all. Many Nasa We’sx families have chosen coffee as a way to achieve harmony betwen prosperity and repect for both Nasa ancestral lands and lifestyle. Crop to Cup’s (our importing partner for this coffee) relationship with this group is through Cedro Alto, who works in the community to engage globally while honoring indigenous traditions and cosmovision in a sincere and respectful manner. This coffee is an excellent representation of the flavor potential in Colombian coffees. It boasts mouthwatering flavors of guava and mango with balancing caramel-like sweetness. We have had our eye on coffees sourced through Cedro Alto for a while and we are excited to be able to add this to our line up. Cedro Alto as an organization works hard to allow small scale farmers access to small, quality focused coffee roasters who are willing to pay premium prices for their coffee. Cedro Alto is an inspiring organization and provides invaluable insight into what true transparency and equality should look like in the coffee supply chain.
