More about the coffee...
Colombia consistently boasts some of the most excellent and approachable coffees in the world. Americans in particular are dispositioned to Colombian coffee because of its proximity to the US, as well as how sweet the coffee is perceived to be. We call it “acidity”, but it's perceived as sweetness. Let’s be honest, Americans have a bit of a sweet tooth, and this beautiful coffee is a hard one to mess up. It brews full of intense flavor, but if you let the coffee cool off to room temperature, there will emerge some fruity and delicate notes.
The terroir (earth and the environment it's in) and the altitude of Colombia is suited perfectly for the production of coffee plants. Coffee plants thrive at these elevations, and the cooler climate allows the beans to ripen slowly, absorbing more sugars and developing complex flavor profiles. There is some difficulty in farming such dramatic elevation and hillsides, but the well-draining, volcanic soils along with warm days and cool nights are perfect conditions for growing amazing plants. The richness and composition of these particular volcanic mountains give Colombian coffee a certain flavor profile that feels heavier (more velvety) than it tastes (juicy and fruity).
Las Garzas means "the herons" and is what the farmers call this naturally processed, community lot situated on the 3rd highest mountain in Colombia. It will give you wings to soar to the highest heights of your day!
