Colombia Sierra Nevada

Colombia is a traditional breakfast coffee with its acidity and coffee-taste. It is hard to find organic Colombians, but this one does have certification as well as fair trade certification.

Sierra Nevada is the most northern coffee growing region and is on the slopes of the Andean mountains which can be difficult to navigate and pick the coffee. It is grown by the Arhuaco indigenous community involving about 700 families. They share a belief system that focuses on protecting the earth — which is central to sustaining all life — and maintaining a harmony between humans and nature.  Their white hats symbolize the snowy mountain peaks they protect, and their tunics, bags and coca leaf traditions are part of their spiritual practice, finding a balance with nature.

These are nice sized beans, really drinkable with buttery mouthfeel and a caramel undertone. If you're using it for drip coffee, the sweet spot is just a few seconds into the 2nd cracks, but if you're using it for espresso, go at least 30 seconds into the 2nd cracks, and as much as a minute.
