LUIS CHASOY - Aponte Village Narino, Colombia

This beautifully eloquent coffee hails from Aponte Village in Tablon de Gomez. It’s an exclusive lot produced by Luis Chasoy as part of the Allied Farmers Project. This project is focused on supporting the indigenous farmers of Aponte Village with technical assistance and over 12 years they have greatly improved crop quality and enabled farmers to ask for up to 300% over market price. This coffee is dry fermented without removing the mucilage off the seed and is wind dried on raised beds for 20-45 days. Heavy cold winds that cross the canyon in this region provide consistent and uniform drying. An amazing example of how local support for quality can impact families thousands of miles away
