Rob says: This coffee is part of our ‘Direct Trade’ program and processed on demand.
In the legendary town of Timana, RAFAEL AYA started focusing on Specialty Coffee already in 2010. And as a result he was able to sell 20% of his coffee at a significant premium. This was quite a feat at a time when Colombian’s specialty market was relatively small.
Since then Rafael has been constantly striving to learn, and to improve the quality and services. For this lot we were able to specify the amount of hours we wanted the coffee to ferment. So we gave it a little push and ended up with this very wild & funky, but still clean, well aligned taste profile.
