From Andy @ Clifton Coffee: Probably the coffee of the year for us so far. Such is the strength of Colombian coffee right now that we’ve decided to run two alongside each other (and there’ll be a third next month!). This is the first coffee we’ve bought from Inza in the Cauca region & its fascinating to see how the regional variances shine through in the cup.

You can expect a champagne-like quality in the cup, bright grape notes with a hint of orange & caramel. Incredibly well balanced with a long floral finish. This coffee is as good as it gets for us & one that we’re super proud to bring in for Spring ’16.
This microlot was produced and processed by Ignacio Quintero, a smallholder member of the ASORCAFE - Inzá, Cauca producer group & provides a great showcase for what this remote and often overlooked region of Colombia has to offer.

Ignacio is one of the larger producers within the ASORCAFE group & is widely respected within the area for his commitment to quality and experimentation. This lot was pulled from an ongoing program run in conjunction with our import partners, Mercanta to identify and export microlots of exceptional quality scoring above 85pts. Indeed on our cupping table in Bristol, we scored it at 89.5 as a result of its stunning complexity & acidity.
