Buying Tips

  • Region: Inzá lies in the Central Cordillera of eastern Cauca, near the Tierradentro archaeological park, with high altitudes and large day-night swings
  • Indigenous smallholders: Many Nasa Indigenous communities grow and process coffee through smallholder cooperatives
  • Style: Close to the equator with steady sunlight, and at high altitude, Cauca has especially bright acidity — one of Colombia's most vivid regions

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, 92°C, ratio 1:15
  • Iced: The citrus and red-apple sweet-tartness is even more refreshing when chilled
