We were introduced to Los Guacharos in 2022 and are honored to offer another lot produced by this association. This harvest has prominent round floral notes like hyacinth paired with peach rings and honey.
Los Guacharos are a group of independent, quality-focused small producers in Bruselas, Southern Huila (close to Pitalito). The group is collectively converting to organic agriculture, making their own fertilizers and fungicides, installing complex water filtration systems that use gravity, stones and sand to remove all mucilage residues from waste water to not contaminate water systems.
This coffee is sourced by Shared Source an importer who works with small holder producers and advocates for the economic, agricultural and intergenerational sustainability of coffee production.
