Description
Asociación Los Naranjos was founded by a small and tight-knit group of 52 coffee farmers in the area surrounding the town of San Agustín, Huila. Despite the small size of the farms—2.5 hectares or less, on average—and the fact that most producers grow fewer than 12,000 trees, the coffees coming from Los Naranjos have consistently been some of the best and brightest on the cupping table, year after year. The farmers also have a very close kinship with one another and share information easily among their fellow growers: The overall philosophy among Los Naranjos is that anything that improves the lot for one producer can improve the lot for all—which also means that individual discipline and attention to detail on the small farms can have a very strong impact on the group.
Asociación member Pastor Ordonez owns the farm called Finca El Placer, where he grows Caturra and Pink Bourbon.
The cup has panela, jammy berry and cooked tropical fruit and flavors with winey acidity and mellow candy-like sweetness.
