To tell you what makes this coffee special, we'll share a direct quote from our importer:

"What makes this coffee really special is the people who make it. ACC Por La Paz unites smallholder farmers in the heart of Cauca who have chosen coffee as a way to remain on their land and build a dignified future, despite the strong economic pressure rural families often face from illicit crops in this region. Through collective organization, shared learning, and ongoing technical support, the farmers strengthen coffee as a legal and viable livelihood. They improve quality while building resilient local communities. This coffee isn't about trends or shortcuts. It reflects steady work, trust, and a long-term commitment to cultivating something meaningful, one harvest at a time." 

In the cup, this coffee's citrus acidity is extremely well-balanced by its sweetness! It's a really exemplary light roast.

  • WHAT IS DIRECT TRADE?

    Our green coffee is imported by De La Finca Coffee, who specializes in direct trade relationships. This means that they work directly with farmers to make sure farmers receive more money for their work. From De La Finca: "Through this supply chain model, we not only are able to empower and connect both farmers and roasters but we are also able to reinvest in local coffee growing communities through long-term school projects and initiatives, realizing our long-term vision for sustainable and independent communities."

  • ON ROASTING

    Since we invest in great greens, we focus our roasting energy on getting out of their way. Our small-batch, fluid-bed roaster allows us fine control over roast profiles in addition to yielding a squeaky clean cup. We categorize our coffees by light, medium, and dark roasts, but we really view these levels as cues for tasting notes rather than actually reflecting roast profile.
