    Roaster’s Notes
    The Rivera sisters (Leonela, Laura, Maria Aricely, and Aleida) live on neighboring farms high in the mountains of Nátaga, Huila. They grow lovely, high-density coffees that exemplify all the best of the region: dense brown sugar sweetness, delicate florals, and complex malic fruitiness. We especially love this coffee as filter brew, where the super clean finish of this coffee shines.
