We think of Don Mario as the 'Ultimate Artisan Farmer', who's coffee is picked, pulped and dried by hand on his farm in Colombia.
Bethlehem of Umbria
We've had the pleasure of roasting Don Mario's coffee ever since an origin trip back in 2016 brought us to his lush Bethlehem farm. On the cupping table his coffee stood out with its rounded body, nuttiness and faint satsuma and blackcurrant sweetness.
This coffee had previously been bulked into the local Cafe Cristalina de Risaralda Co-op but after offering to pay a premium to have it segregated we were able to gain exclusivity of this single farm coffee. Six years on and we're still supporting the good work Don Mario is doing who we think of as the 'ultimate artisan farmer'. Experience tells him when coffee is ripe for picking, before it is pulped fresh on the farm then dried on his roof!
