Every bean has a story


A delightful cup of indulgence from Colombia - this is La Claudia!

La Claudia


La Claudia is a small vereda in the Piendamo region in the north of Cauca. The ACC coop works with small producers in this area buying cherry from 5 small farms that they take back to one of their central processing centers where they can control the whole process. The 5 producers they buy from cover the whole of the area of the Vereda, La Claudia.

This naturally processed lot undergoes tank fermentation for 48 hours before being silo dried at 28 Celsius. Drying is paused at 16 hours and the temperature is raised to 37 degrees until 20% humidity is reached.

Finally, further fermentation takes place in sealed plastic drums for 24 hours, then parabolic drying is used to achieve 10% humidity.

 

Asociación de Caficultores del Centro del Cauca por la Paz


The ACC coop (Asociación de Caficultores del Centro del Cauca por la Paz) is a non-profit organisation that started in 2016 in Piendamó, Cauca. The purpose of the association has always been improving the coffee quality. This goes all the way from the crop until the commercialization of the coffee, where improving these aspects will have a social impact on the region. Improving the wellbeing of the peasant families, taking care of the environment, and trying to find peace in our territory.

ACC has 77 associates with an average of 1.5 hectares of land that range between 1,700 and 2,100 meters above sea level. Every member that has joined is a believer of the power of associations, where the main goal is to fight against poverty and social conflicts in the region. The association helps members with commercial strategies and crop related technology. Despite that, every member has the chance to decide how to process his coffee with innovative fermentations.

The coffee varieties the members grow are castillo, cenicafé, Tabi, Bourbon, caturra and colombia. Most of the coffee dries through parabolic and mechanical silos.

The association has a storage facility (not owned - rented) in Piendamó, right beside the coffee purchase center. In this facility there is a coffee laboratory that has all the equipment needed for coffee selection and cupping - done by a Q-Grader. They are looking to build their own warehouse and headquarters as they grow.

 

If you enjoy a natural Caturra coffee, make sure to try our El Jardin, another great one from Colombia.

Tasting notes
A great Colombian coffee with a medium body, smooth texture, and crisp acidity, which complement the flavors of black cherry and raisins, along with chocolate notes excellently. When brewed, it offers a rich, balanced cup with a pleasant acidity that enhances the fruity and chocolaty notes, creating a delightful drinking experience.
