Coffee Description
From Inza, Colombia, this juicy coffee has slighlty lower acidity than some of our other offerings. The sweetness reminds us of a classic red slushee, while the full bodied mouthfeel is like brown sugar and baking chocolate. Washed processing ensures a clean, mellow and complex cup every time.

About Juvenal Penna of Colombia
This coffee originates from the deep interior of Colombia, in a region of Cauca called Inzá, also known as La Tierra Adentro. This area is wild and difficult to access, but that is what makes it so fertile. The Paez River runs through the valley and the higher elevations are created by Colombia’s highest volcano: Nevado del Huila. Most of the coffee of the region is grown at high elevations of at least 1,900 MASL in that volcanic soil.
Multiple farms and farming communities contribute to this coffee for Red Fox Coffee Merchants. Each of the smallholder farms is approximately 1-2 hectares in size and produces about 1,300 kilos of coffee per season. Harvesting is a team affair and once the coffee is harvested, the cherries are sorted for defects, depulped, and dried on site. The coffee is then transported by mule to the nearest dry mill for continued processing.

Indie Coffee Roasters
At Indie Coffee Roasters, we’re motivated by coffee, community, and collaboration. We take great pride in every aspect of our work, from the biggest to the smallest details. Our team is more than a group of employees, we’re like family, and we work together toward a common goal: making Indie Coffee Roasters the best it can be.
When it comes to creating great coffee, each step of the supply chain matters. We consider every aspect of our coffee selections, including questions you might never think to ask like: What kind of soil did this coffee grow in? How was it harvested and processed? What is the climate like where this coffee was farmed? Many people focus primarily on the final step--How was the coffee roasted? How should it be brewed?--and those are equally important questions, but there is so much more to it than that!
Of course, the roasting process is incredibly important too, and some of the most important work we do. We consider our roasting process to be a perfect blend of art and science as we roast with precision to capture the flavors in each of our carefully-sourced coffees.
In addition to bringing great coffee to our community, building relationships is at the core of who we are. We work directly with coffee producers whenever possible and ensure that our coffee sourcing is transparent and beneficial for every person in the supply chain. We love to celebrate our coffee producers as we wouldn’t be here without them. Whether we’re connecting with our regulars who frequent our coffee shop locations and wholesale partners who serve our coffee from their own locations or learning all we can about our amazing coffee producers all around the world, from start to finish, coffee is all about community.
