Located in the southernmost part of Colombia, the Department of Nariño is renowned for its exceptional coffee production. Named after the independence leader Antonio Nariño, this region boasts a rich history and unique geography. Its capital, San Juan de Pasto, sits in the western part of the country, near the borders of Ecuador and the Pacific Ocean.
Nariño's landscape is characterized by sloping terrains and deep valleys, which play a crucial role in coffee cultivation. The unique terroir of this region, with its high altitudes and cooler temperatures, leads to the development of high-acidity, supersweet coffees that are truly remarkable.
Our Nariño coffee is sourced from day lots of ripe cherries that are brought to the wet mill in Nariño. Here, the coffee undergoes a meticulous selection process by Select Exports, ensuring only the highest quality beans are chosen. Samples are then sent to our trusted export partner, Anthem Coffee Importers, who ensure the coffee matches our desired flavor profiles and standards.
We take pride in offering Nariño coffee, which reflects the dedication and expertise of the local farmers and the careful selection process. Whether you’re a seasoned coffee enthusiast or new to specialty coffee, you’ll appreciate the bright acidity and sweet flavors that make Nariño coffee stand out. Enjoy a cup and savor the unique taste of this exceptional Colombian coffee.
