Coffee Description
Colombian coffees tend to be approachable and friendly. This offering delivers on that promised goodness: well-balanced and pleasantly articulated, with Nariño’s classic candied grape, floral, and fruit-forward profile. Juicy acidity, syrupy mouthfeel, and a clean, sweetly-rich finish make for a supremely drinkable cup.

About Uberney Martinez of Colombia
Finca El Patachorrera clings to the backside of the Galeras Volcano near the town of Sandoná in the Nariño region. El Patachorrera is small, as are most coffee farms here--small but of great value to its owner, Uberney Martinez. Uberney is an artisan, combining traditional methods of coffee cultivation with meticulous harvesting and processing to coax the best out of his land and his beans.
The Sandoná area struggles with lack of infrastructure, climate change, and a depressed economy. However, its unique cup profile is increasingly sought after, allowing farmers to sell their coffees at higher prices. For Uberney, being able to receive premium rates for his harvest has a very significant impact on his family’s quality of life.

Bold Bean Coffee
Bold Bean Coffee has been making history ever since Jay Burnett launched the roasting company in 2007 in Jacksonville, Florida: from opening their first retail shop in 2011, expanding to three cafes and a roastery, to winning best coffee shop in Jacksonville for several years running.
These days Jay’s son, Zack Burnett (an avid surfer who calls the beach his “third place”), drives the vision of Bold Bean, buying their green coffee (including an increasing number of direct trade relationships) and overseeing daily operations.
All of our coffees are roasted by Zack or Bold Bean roastery assistant, Sarah Posey, on our 35 kilo Loring Kestrel (affectionately named Lorenzo). Our goal with any coffee is to highlight origin characteristics while enhancing each coffees' natural sweetness. We always push ourselves to roast better and better coffee while maintaining precise consistency.
For Zack, coffee is a tool for promoting the wellbeing of others:
“I enjoy every day that we can positively affect people’s lives through the product we make and the interactions we have. These effects can stretch through the entire chain of coffee from producer to consumer. Not many jobs provide people with this opportunity, so for me, that’s pretty special.”
