Origin
About this lot
Origin This coffee has been sourced from producers belonging to the Nasa Wesx tribe. The Nasa Wesx, also known as the Páez people, are one of the largest indigenous communities of Colombia, residing predominantly in the south-western highlands, notably the Cauca Department. These highlands are incredibly fertile ground for coffee production due to the abundance of volcanic soil. Volcanic soil tends to be the youngest and most nutrient-rich soil, as it will only ever be as old as the last volcanic eruption. The community has a rich agricultural history, notably its coffee production, paired with a complicated political existence, being targeted by rebels and paramilitary groups due to the Colombian Conflict. Specialty coffee production, when sourced ethically, is therefore an important avenue for the community in elevating the economic standard and livelihood of their region. Project This
