Colombia Nariño

Colombian coffee is world-famous, but there’s so much more to it than meets the eye. Saying coffee is simply 'from Colombia' is only part of the story. Colombia has 20 distinct coffee-growing departments, each with its own unique flavor profile, shaped by mountainous terrain, winds, proximity to the Equator, and local practices in coffee variety and processing.

This Colombian coffee, with its deliciously sweet, full-bodied character, comes from Fundación Agraria y Ambiental Para el Desarrollo Sostentible (FUDAM) a 300-member association of Organic and Rainforest Alliance-certified farmers in the Nariño region. Here, farmers typically ferment the coffee for 16–24 hours and wash it two to three times before drying it in various structures. Depending on the method, drying can take from 25 to 40 hours mechanically or up to 15 days with other traditional methods.

Sourced from the high-altitude landscapes of Colombia · Nariño, this offering from Evans Brothers Coffee highlights the collaborative efforts of the Fundación Agraria y Ambiental Para el Desarrollo Sostentible (FUDAM). By focusing on sustainable development, FUDAM supports local producers in maintaining the quality standards for which this specific region is renowned.

This lot undergoes a washed process, a method typically favored for its ability to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, vibrant profiles, the final expression in the cup is always a reflection of the unique terroir and meticulous post-harvest handling. To better understand the nuances of this profile, we encourage you to reference the flavor wheel as you explore the distinct characteristics of this Colombian selection. Through the dedication of FUDAM and the careful roasting by Evans Brothers, this coffee serves as a testament to the regional identity of Nariño.
