Katherine Pujimuy
This coffee is clean and well articulated the fruit flavor. The honey process involves removing the outer cherry skin, but leaving the fruit mucilage intact for the entire drying period. It can mean fruity flavors in the cup, which is the case with this coffee.
This coffee has impressive cup flavors that are clean, articulate and bright. Juicy sryup and orange notes explode that brought out a moderate acidic impression.
The dry fragrance is loaded with a smell of cooked sugars, that are sweet, and quite enticing! If that wasn't enough, I also picked up on a very nice tropical note that brought to mind fruit pastry filling. Pouring hot water brought up a thick scent of berries cooked with brown sugar, along with a note of plums. The cup showed a very nice fruited profile with delicious accent notes of citrus, berries, and tropical hints

About the farm: Katherine Pujimuy's farm is located in the village of El Páramo, within the Aponte region of, Nariño. The town is aptly named as Nariño is situated in a high altitude páramo plateau, with clouds regularly at ground level.
The people of Aponte are of Inga decent, a pre-Colombian ethnic group related to the Incas, their native tongue being Inga Kichwa. The remote location and far reach from the Colombian government has made it a desirable area for growing illegal poppy crops too. But outside interest in coffee from this area and the competitive prices being paid have made coffee an attractive alternative.
