We're Tasting

A classic, consistent, and oh-so comforting coffee, the Nasa Community blend is our Pillar of Pillars for a reason. 

It's jam packed with notes of rich and creamy chocolates, so much syrupy molasses sweetness and a hint of spices like cinnamon and cardamom.  Body-forward with subtle red fruit acidities, It's delicious no matter how you brew, and particularly apt for espresso. 

On espresso a good place to start is a 1:2 ratio extracted over 30 seconds. It's also fantastic as a more traditional pour-over. Coarser grind will unlock fruitier notes, while finer will showcase its inherent richness.

Processing Info

This coffee is grown by members of the Nasa Indigenous peoples of Vereda de la Cruz, Togoima Reservation, Tierradentro, Cauca, Colombia.

The Liz-Andela family works with 32 families in their neighbourhood, building on longstanding relationships and buying coffee cultivated organically and processed as semiwashed. The varieties often included are: caturra, v.Colombia, castillo, cenicafe 1, tabi, and bourbon (red and yellow). The quantities of each are in constant flux, yet the profile remains remarkably similar. Currently, the blend is tabi dominant.

Coffee is harvested by hand, floated for quality, and pulped with very little water. The resulting parchment has a reddish hue to it, and it's dried for an average of 1 month in marquesina (green house). The Liz-Andela family purchases all coffees for a minimum of 10% above market rate and blend and store it in parchment in their warehouse in Bogota.
