Cloud Inversion | Dark Roast

You have a mountain of a day ahead of you. You woke up late; it’s pouring; it’s dark; it’s really beating you up. Now you hit the lift and, as you climb, you start to get a different feeling. You are breaking through the clouds; sunlight starts to hit the top of your shades; the air is still; the sun is shining, and you are standing on top of the earth looking out on endless pillows. This is our Cloud Inversion. This is our version of a coffee that will kick you in the ass and jumpstart your day. Never burnt, just right. Impact: ASPROTIMANA was formed in 2001 as an initiative of 32 producers who were interested in developing more stable marketing channels for its flagship product, coffee, to improve the social and economic position of the families in the area. The social objectives of the project were initially focussed on the coffee farming families but the medium and long term aim is for the benefits to extend more widely through the region as well. The cooperative is based in the district of Huila and includes 22 villages in the Timana, Elijah and Suaza areas. The cooperative’s name is derived from the Timanaes tribe that originally inhabited the region. Coffee is the main crop, grown on an area of approximately 250 hectares. The majority of the crop is Caturra coffee, but varieties such as Colombia and Castillo are also grown. Today the association comprises 85 families of small coffee growers who are committed to improving their standard of living by producing and exporting high quality coffee.
