Small Producers of Pompeya, Colombia

Jasmine, lemon blossom fragrance, Juicy blackcurrant

This coffee was produced by six small independent farmers who have small 1-hectare farms in the remote town of Pompeya, in Eastern Nariño, Colombia.

Tucked away in the upper reaches of the beautiful Juanambú Canyon, Pompeya is so small that its narrow streets can’t be found in google maps. The town sits at a major crossroads —where the tropical climate of the Amazons meets the cold winds of the Andes. The unique geography and climate of Pompeya provide the perfect conditions to produce exceptional coffee.

The six producers who produced this coffee have tiny 1-hectare farms, planted with Colombia and Caturra varieties that are located at a staggering 2,150m above sea level. This high elevation means that the fruit matures slowly, allowing sugars to develop and resulting in very sweet and complex coffees.  The coffee is selectively hand-picked by the farmers and their families and processed at small mills located on their properties.
