Colombia La Mina Caturra

From the López family's La Mina farm in Buesaco, Nariño at 1,900 m elevation, this washed Caturra has earned multiple Cup of Excellence accolades. The López's selective harvesting and meticulous sorting translate to concentrated fruit expression: pomegranate, mandarin orange, and nectarine leap forward with juicy acidity and aromatic spice. A Direct Trade partner since 2010, La Mina proves that obsessive processing attention at origin delivers measurable complexity and consistency in the cup.
