Origin

This light roast from Colombia highlights the talented cultivator Lucas Tulcan. He grows exceptional coffee in the high elevation Andean mountains near Buesaco. At his farm, Finca La Peña, the coffee represents the evolution of the artisan approach to coffee growing in a region renowned for their expertise. This small lot coffee delivers lots of sugar balanced against a rich nougat flavor that reminds us of a classic Charleston Chew. Smooth and balanced light roast we're excited to share with you.

The farmers in this area have their own setup for processing coffee. They use small pulpers and fermentation tanks and create small batches of coffee day by day as it is picked from their farm. Dry fermentation for this lot was 48 hours. Coffee is dried on concrete patios, solar dryers, and raised beds ranging 4-10 days on average after depulping.

The coffee Lucas produces comes from a place of love. Lucas, a 70 year old farmer, a husband and a father of 4 daughters who also work with coffee. He has been growing coffee for more than 15 years. He gardens daily to take care of all the flowers and makes sure his garden is always healthy and thriving. Lucas once shared this passion and daily ritual with his wife working in the garden. Unfortunately she is no longer around physically to carry on and to do it with him, so he spends as much of his time as possible in the garden because it reminds him of her and is his way to stay close and connected with her.
