Pulped Natural Yellow Bourbon Pocos de Caldas, Rainha. From the same farm as the #1 COE winner in 2011! Extremely creamy, with notes of dark chocolate, orange peel, and vanilla.
Colombian Huila Guadalupe Suaza Sweet, balanced, cocoa, creamy body.
There is a Co-op in Huila in the town of Garzon called Coocentral. It serves the farmers in that general vicinity of Colombia. This last summer they held a freindly cupping competition that Sally from Cafe Imports was able to attend with a few cuppers from Australia and some from Colombia. Most of the coffees were farmer specific from farms of about 3 acres that produce about 10-15 bags of coffee per harvest. This is one of the top coffees from the contest.

Rwanda PC Washed Arabica COOPAC Peaberries
Fruity, delicate and juicy!
- COOPAC coop is located in the western Rwandan provinces of Rabavu and Rutsiro. Rabavu lies on the shores of the great African Lake Kivu, the border between Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo. Lake Kivu has long been the center of African lore because of its unparalleled beauty and surprising volcanic nature. Tribesmen in this region of Rwanda have long reported seeing explosions far out in the lake. The geologic activity of this region may be one of the main factors contributing to the incredible soil used to grow coffee trees here. COOPAC is revered for its wonderful ecological environment in the steep slopes of the volcanic mountains, and also for its abundance in healthy rain. All of these factors come together to create the ideal coffee growing environment for COOPAC.
