Coffee

Beacon Coffee Company - Matarredonda | Proudly roasted in Ventura, ca | Producer: Vasquez Family Region: Pasto, Colombia Varietal: Bourbon, Typica, Caturra Process: Washed Elevation: 1900m Marks: Rainforest Alliance The Vasquez family has been producing estate coffee in the Pasto growing region of Southwest Colombia for close to four generations. Their estate home sits among the farm high on a plateau surrounded by a mature high-altitude pine forest. The farm itself lays almost level at an altitude of 1900 meters above sea level. Kike and Vivan Vasquez are also the co-owners of Enantioqua – the dry mill, located in Jardin in Colombia’s Antioquia growing region. This is where all of our Colombia micro-lots are finished and prepared for exporting. The relationship between our two organizations has flourished since our first trip to meet them nearly a decade ago. In fact, visiting Colombia and the farmers whom they work with has become Jennifer’s very favorite part of the sourcing year. Tasting Notes: Dark Chocolate, Caramel, Heavy Body
