COMITÉ: AGUA AZUL

Over the past couple of years, we have worked with this comité on refining their basic farming practices and advancing farm cleanliness. Improved practices have improved the product: an elegant, distinct profile has emerged here, and Catimor is both rare and diminishing. The local producers call the non-Catimor trees “Bourbon” or “Costa Rica,” and we believe these lofty crops offer a complexity similar to that of Kenyan coffees, partnering acidity with sweetness. These trees have been in the region for almost 40 years, and as their history in the region grows, so will this unique area’s prestige in the world of coffee.
