Subtext Coffee Roasters

Colombia Cumbres de Nariño, Washed EA Decaf

This community lot unites 14 producers around Buesaco in Nariño, Colombia's steep volcanic highlands (1,800–2,100 masl), where warm evening air from the valleys allows coffee to thrive at exceptional altitudes. The washed EA decaffeination process preserves clarity while the classic Caturra, Colombia, and Castillo varieties—traditionally grown here—deliver balanced body and clean acidity. Nariño's nutrient-rich, well-drained volcanic soil and unique microclimate create the conditions for quality at these elevations. This inaugural lot from Subtext represents a strategic shift by importer Shared Source, capturing traditional varieties before they're replaced across the region, earning an 86-point cup score.
