Libardo Martinez and his wife Nora are first-generation coffee producers. Based in Tablón de Gómez, Nariño, they have a modest eight hectares where they grow Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia varieties. This coffee is grown at a very high altitude of 2050 masl, which usually would be too cold, but the unique microclimate of this area due to it being close to the equator makes it possible. This lot was processed using the traditional washed method, where coffee cherries are pulped and fermented underwater before being cleaned and dried on raised beds. This creates a coffee with a brighter and cleaner profile.
