Everardo Ortiz is a second-generation coffee farmer, inheriting an especially picturesque parcel in Nariño from his father. Over the years, he has more than doubled the farm’s productivity and tree count, now with over 10,000 Castillo trees. In the years ahead, he aims to build his wet mill right on the property, but for now he is able to keep this part of the process in the family with the help of a nearby nephew.
This is one of those coffees that hits the spot so squarely that you almost take it for granted: it’s sweet like caramel, juicy like fresh OJ, sweet like soda, clean as freshly microfibered glass. It’s just a delight, no matter how you prepare it, and it’s frankly a simple twist of fate that we’ve wound up with it at all: a busier-than-anticipated spring plus a few late green arrivals and voila: a true blue treat from Nariño.
This is our third coffee of the year sourced from new-to-us Colombia-rooted importers, Arango. Having
