Coffee Description
Fragrant pineapple, lime citrus, and nectarine lead into salted toffee, brown sugar, and subtle florals along with sweet honeydew melon. As it cools, tangy acidity increases in sweetness reminiscent of juicy pear with hints of plum, supported by round, velvety body.

About Smallholder producers of Colombia
Colombia is famous for its coffee. Not only have Juan Valdez ads made it a household word, the incredible terroir of each region and microregion have contributed to its fame. This particular coffee represents the combined efforts of many smallholder farmers in the Cauca region. They’ve cultivated their trees and painstakingly picked only the ripest cherries for each lot. Often, however, the yeilds are small enough that on their own, they do not have enough to market separately.
But combined, the flavor of the land, complex acidity and heightened florality born of high altitudes and slow ripening cause this coffee to shine. The farmers around Inzá are proud to create this distinct offering together.

Since 2007, Square One Coffee has become a nationally known name in specialty coffee, wholesaling to quality-focused shops up and down the east coast, and opening two retail locations in Philadelphia (2012 & 2014). Owners Josh and Jess Steffy and their talented team of coffee professionals take their passion for people and coffee seriously. This means partnering with coffee producers and communities, paying premium prices for their hard work and reinvesting into those communities whenever possible. It also means paying all of their employees a living wage with opportunities to learn and grow in their craft.
