Two hours off the beaten path from the nearest town, lifelong coffee producer Nelly Alape and her husband’s farm is located deep in the canyons of Tolima, Colombia. Despite the region being hit hard by years of civil conflict, they have been an important partner for Devoción, consistently producing excellent coffees for the past 8 years.

When asked what makes her coffee special, Nelly credits the farm workers, whom she oversees on their 8 hectare farm. By paying them above average to ensure only the ripest cherries are picked, the investment in her staff produces a high return by yielding only the highest quality coffees she can sell for a premium. Named after the first lot of land Nelly bought with her husband 37 years ago, Mirolindo is a bright and fruity coffee with notes of plum, floral jasmine, and a rich honey sweetness.

Produced by Nelly Alape in the Tolima region of Colombia, Mirolindo - Women in Coffee represents a focused effort in regional cultivation. This lot features the Supremo varietal, grown at 1900 masl and prepared using the washed process. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, washed coffees often highlight the inherent acidity and clean profile of the bean, allowing the specific terroir of the Tolima mountains to remain at the forefront.

Roasted by Devoción, this coffee presents a nuanced sensory experience characterized by notes of plum, honey, and jasmine. When evaluating these distinct flavors, drinkers may find it helpful to consult a flavor wheel to better identify the subtle transitions between the stone fruit sweetness and the delicate floral aromatics. As a testament to the work of Nelly Alape, this selection offers a clear expression of the high-altitude conditions found within this prominent Colombian coffee-growing department.
