Meseta de Popayan - Colombia

In collaboration with 65 farmer/partners around Popayan, Cofinet takes in harvested coffee cherries to oversee milling, quality control, and sorting the offerings to either be processed as usual, or to be decaffeinated.

Like the decaf offering from Popayan, this coffee brings immense citrus character! Lime zest, Meyer lemon, and grapefruit commingle with pineapple, pink peppercorns, and rose aromatics, with a syrupy body that brings balance to the profile. It’s an exciting cup to drink, and a highly approachable offering from our partners in Colombia.
