Apothecary Colombian Dark Sealed 12oz Bagged Coffee
$14.50
Roasted fresh in small batches in the heart of down town Newberry South Carolina.
Colombia is a land of extremes. With vast rain forests, sprawling savannas, huge
mountains, and 2,900 kilometers of coastline on two oceans, this equatorial country
is one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth. Colombia’s incredible variety of
microclimates allows it to produce a significant volume of premium washed Arabica
every month of the year.
Nariño
Incredibly High-Altitude Coffee
The highest-grown Colombian coffee is cultivated in Nariño, a small region bordering
Ecuador and the Pacific Ocean. Coffee from these slopes is well-balanced, with high acidity,
medium body and a lingering citric sweetness.
Because it is just one degree north of the Equator, coffee can be
cultivated at extreme altitudes (up to 2,300 meters ASL) in Nariño.
Steady year-round sunlight, variation between day and nighttime
temperatures, and rich volcanic soils converge to make this a
place where lively, deeply sweet coffees are grown.
• TOPOGRAPHY: Nariño is home to 12 volcanoes, some of which
are still actively enriching the soil today.
• CLIMATE: The rainy season begins in August after a long dry
period. During the night, the temperature drops to almost 15
degrees Celsius, but heat from the canyons below mitigates
the chill.
• SOIL: The soil is very rich in organic material, as well as acidic
ashes from volcanic eruptions. Many Nariño coffees are shade
grown under nitrogen-fixing trees.
• ELEVATION: Coffee trees are grown at up to 2,300 meters ASL.
It’s one of the few areas in Colombia with farms at such high
elevations.
Farms in Nariño are the smallest in Colombia, on average less than one hectare each.
Because farmers have such small pieces of land, growers are highly dependent on income
from coffee cultivation, and are intensely dedicated to improving quality and yields. The
production of specialty coffee in Nariño is an artisanal process led by the coffee grower,
his or her family, and other members of the community with whom they share the work.
