Popayán, in the Colombian department of Cauca, lies at around 1,700 meters above sea level, in an area protected by the Andes mountain range.

The combination of altitude, topography, and stable climate creates an ideal environment for growing sweet, balanced coffees with pronounced citrus acidity.

This lot is part of a program developed with approximately 65 small-scale producers, with whom long-term relationships are maintained. The program encourages quality improvement and pays premiums of around 20% above the market price for selected coffees.
