We had been in search of a steadfast, washed Colombian that we could take to a medium roast and be able to enjoy every morning in our cup. Our friends at Balzac Brothers came through. A note from them below:

Since 1963, the Cooperativa de Cafetaleros del Norte del Valle has been present in the region, providing economic, social and environmental opportunities to the coffee community of Norte del Valle. They generate an impact on the more than 1,600 associated coffee-growing families, through direct access to their different services, programs, social investment projects and job creation. They have developed an environmental impact with their three protected forest areas, which add up to a total of 170 hectares located in the municipalities of Águila, Ansermanuevo, and Argelia. These forests are a source of water supply for the rural areas of said municipalities and are the habitat of thousands of wild species.

While we've mostly been brewing this one up on drip, this coffee is a true all-around gem. On espresso with a simple 1:2 recipe, the jammy blackberry notes shine with a hint of lemon zest on the back end.
