San Sebastian

This coffee is grown by smallholder farmers in the Inzá municipality. These producers cultivate coffee on small plots of land at an altitude of approximately 1700 meters above sea level in the Tierradentro region, located on the western side of Cauca. Around 80% of the local population belongs to the indigenous Paez tribe, and the farms typically range in size from 0.5 to 1.5 hectares.

PROCESSING

This lot was processed using a washed technique. Harvested cherry is floated and hand-sorted to remove defects. Sorted cherry is pulped and fermented briefly for 12 hours. Parchment is dried on drying beds for around 15 days.

TRACEABILITY

Sourced through Cofinet, a family business of multigenerational Colombian coffee producers. Cofinet works closely with Occicafe and Globalcafe, allowing them to build direct relationships with the farmers and ensure quality control.
