Colombia Amparo Zapata microlot

Arrived the very end of February 2022 in GrainPro. This coffee arrived in the US in January. This is one of two fine, fairly priced lots that we just acquired.

Dona Amparo is a classic example of hard work and determination. She lost her husband to illness nearly 20 years ago and single handedly raised 5 children on her own. To her credit two of her children now help her run day to day operations on the farm where they also live nearby with their own families.

A testament to their hard work, the family has produced a coffee that is very high in lively and piquant acidity with an above average body and high sweetness. Fruit flavors and tones of caramel lead to a unique cup with a clean, buttery finish.

Screen size is 14 to 16 and formally Excelso as are many lots from very high altitudes such as this. High grown lots are concentrated and typically smaller due to the elevation.
