"One of the world's most popular coffees.  This coffee is very bright and lively.  It has winey acidity with good body and balance.  Notes of hazelnut and a very pleasant finish."

MORE ABOUT THE COFFEE AND THE FARMERS

Founded in 1993, COSURCA is composed of 1,400 members in 15 cooperatives in Cauca, a mountainous province of southwestern Colombia.  Coffee is grown at elevations of 1400m to 1900m. 

Farmers in the area work under constant threat and disruption from armed extremist groups and drug running gangs.  Fairtrade has given COSURCA a financial stability which has enabled the farmers to maintain a strong enough organization to resist these threats.
