Coffee Beans Colombia 250g - Full-bodied and Chocolatey - 100% Arabica

The Pijao terroir is perfectly expressed in this cup. Citric, woody, chocolatey notes, then a caramelized finish and notes of mandarin. Coffee roasted artisanally in France by the MOF roaster 2016.     ABOUT Pueblo Sin Prisa means Village Without Stress, it is also the name of our Colombian coffee from the Pijao region in Quindio. In this small village of Pijao, we take the time to live. Don Jesus Maria Pedraza is the spokesperson for an association of 20 producers who produce castillo and caturra and who share the same vision of agriculture. 85% self-sufficient, he is beginning a smooth transition from his shaded farm to organic farming in harmony with its environment and by reducing the density of coffee trees to produce less but produce better. Producers in the area can join the sweet adventure of Pueblo Sin Prisa. One of the very important objectives of this project is to remunerate producers above the market price. In Colombia, the coffee producer is paid by 'carga'. This is equivalent to 125 kg of cherries, why 125 kg? That's simply how much weight a mule can carry. To date in Colombia the market pays around 700,000 COP (Colombian pesos) per load while this coffee was paid by our partner 1,000,000 pesos to the producer.     PIJAO The Pijao region is located in the department of Quindio, located in the central-western region of the country, crossed by the Andes mountain range. It is a region known for the quality of its coffee plantations, colorful architecture, a mild climate and a very deep-rooted culture. Quindío is the second smallest department in Colombia and produces around 10% of Colombian coffee. It is one of the departments, along with the Caldas and Risaralda departments, constituting the Axis of Coffee Producers. Located between 1000 and 1800 meters above sea level, it is an extremely rich terroir which produces very small quantities of a coffee renowned worldwide for its quality. The Quimbaya Indians have something to do with it because they passed on their respect for nature. Today, the inhabitants are called Quindianos. Despite the quality of the coffees, the threat of a reduction in production is great; between the effects of climate change and the numerous diseases that affect the plantations, producers are turning to other crops. It is important for us to support this group of Pijao producers.
