Nasa U'Y Community Blend - Pillars Series - NUY-01
$26.00
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.
Process
This is a community blend in the truest sense. It's grown by Nasa Indigenous smallholder families of Vereda de La Cruz in the Resguardo de Togoima, where the average farm is about one hectare and practices are traditionally organic and regenerative, with native shade trees providing a habitat for birds and other wildlife.
The Liz-Andela family buys from their neighbours on years of trust, always at a minimum of 10% above market rate, then blends and stores the coffee in parchment in their Bogotá warehouse.
Semiwashed is the traditional way the community treats its crop. Cherries are hand-picked, floated for quality and pulped with very little water, then washed before drying with some 30% of the mucilage still on. The parchment takes on a reddish hue and dries for about a month in marquesina (greenhouse).

In the Cup
Taste in Colour
Expect
V60: The cup should be rich and chocolatey with a clear red fruit character and some spice on the finish.
Espresso: Chocolate and nutty, with a subtle acidity and spiced red fruit on the finish.
If it's not quite there
Brew around 96–97°C for body and sweetness; drop to 93°C to showcase lighter qualities.
Grind on the finer side and aim for about 3 minutes total.
Freshly ground coffee will always optimize flavour.
