Las Naranjas

This is our sixth year buying coffee from Alto Naranjal, a small community high in the mountains of Nariño, Colombia. The name describes the fragrant orange groves shrouding the lower elevations—halfway up the mountain, the tree cover becomes sparse and the scent of wheel crushed oranges dissipates into the heady perfume of coffee blossoms.

This fully washed caturra from Marco Antonio Muñoz is absolutely delicious—sweet, structured, and crystalline in its clarity. Look for baked apple, green grape, and sweet orange along with candied pecan and warm, buttery caramels.
