About the Producer
Situated 91km from the capital of Cauca, Popayán (in which coffee from Cauca is commonly named after), lies the municipality of Inza. Found within the mountainous range that makes up the central Andes. Inza sits on the corner of the Cauca region bordering with Tolima and Huila in the Colombian Plateau. Due to the high altitudes this region has a stable and predictable climate year-round.
In Cauca, coffee is grown in small plots by local farmers. Inza is one of the 34 municipalities which make up the 93,000 hectares of coffee producing farm-land within Cauca. The high altitude, proximity to the equator and volcanic soils make this region perfect for growing high quality coffee.
The land is carefully maintained by small holder farmers usually with plot sizes under 5 hectares. Producers here selectively harvest and process coffee as the cherries reach peak maturity, with this attention to detail producing a distinguished profile with strong notes of caramel and red fruits.
