Colombia Peñas Blancas

Acevedo, Huila, Colombia. Peñas Blancas Coffee Growers. Nestor Lasso & Jhoan Vergaras. Natural Process. Java Varietal.
Raspberry. Strawberry. Fruit Punch.

This is the most expensive coffee we've ever roasted, and it tastes like it. It's a high-scoring, fantastic, fruit-forward, sweet and clean Natural Process Java varietal, that both experienced and inexperienced coffee drinkers can appreciate.

Nestor Lasso and Jhoan Vergara are two of Colombia’s visionary coffee producers - well known by green coffee buyers. They've joined forces to lead the Peñas Blancas Coffee Processing Center in Acevedo, Huila. This centralized processing hub allows smallholders to access world-class processing techniques and deliver consistently high-quality coffee to an international market.

Peñas Blancas is driven by community and built on the pillars of collaboration, education, and sustainability. Producers, agronomists, and industry professionals come together to share knowledge via training programs and workshops on best practices so that many of the families in Acevedo who rely on coffee as their primary income can upskill and directly improve their livelihoods.

Under the helm of Nestor Lasso’s expertise in experimental processing and Jhoan Vergara’s experience in farm management, Peñas Blancas empowers producers who previously faced barriers in accessibility, quality control, and market opportunities with centralized and supervised facilities.

We're thrilled to be serving this one for a few months. Clean and tasty fruit punch flavors abound, with a nice chocolate-y base as well. Try it out!
