A splendid gem of Colombia, located in the south of the country on the banks of the river of the same name, from which it takes its name.

This exclusive Arabica coffee grows beneath shade trees. It comes from a typical high-altitude tropical region: the plantations are in clay, and the karst soils receive winds from the Caribbean Sea. Coffee plantations lie between 800 and 1,600 meters above sea level. The rainfall and soil characteristics create ideal conditions for producing this type of high-quality coffee: a gourmet or high-altitude specialty coffee (1450-1600m). The recent construction of modern coffee washing and processing facilities near the plantations makes it possible to process freshly picked cherries while ideally preserving the organoleptic characteristics of perfectly ripe fruit. Sensory analysis reveals the typical character of Colombian coffees: exceptionally full-bodied yet elegant, with bright acidity. The flavor features notes of caramelized citrus, ripe plums, and dried dates. The aftertaste reveals hints of dark chocolate and raisins.
