Cupping Notes
Colombia Willian Sancho is a wonderfully delicious cup of coffee.

Strong notes of raw, wild honey lead the cup from the get-go. A sweet note like honey is one that can be elusive in the world of coffee. However, this is the strongest example of it that we have found. It is refreshing and unique.

In addition to the pure sweetness of the honey, you will also find a juicy, sweet, acidic, and crisp apple flavor. We think it is best represented specifically as a fuji apple. We almost went with a pear note here, but ultimately the slight acidity led to more to the apple side of things. This juicy fuji apple flavor only adds to the refreshing quality of Colombia Willian Sancho.

As native Texans, we have fond memories of pecan pralines. They are a staple at just about any cash register of a Mexican restaurant back in Texas. Finish your meal, grab a homemade praline on the way out. It’s tradition in a lot of towns. Willian Sancho’s coffee reminds of us that nostalgic experience. The buttery pecan sensation adds just enough nuttiness to really round this coffee out with a touch of savory.

Farming Notes
This wonderful single-origin offering comes to us from our good friends at Red Fox Coffee Merchants. We are continually impressed by their work on the ground to model transparency in pay for their farmers and with the coffee itself.

Here is what Red Fox has to say about Colombia Willian Sancho:

“Deep in the interior of Colombia’s department of Cauca lies the province of Inza, known in Colombia as La Tierra Adentro. On a good day, it is a two-hour drive from Popayán and La Plata in either direction, but frequent mudslides and road closures mean it’s often not easily accessible. On clear days in the village of Inzá, one can see straight up to the Nevado del Huila, the highest volcano in Colombia. The famous Paez river runs east through the valley, connecting Cauca and Huila. Very little coffee is grown below 1750 masl with a great portion growing at 1900 masl. Caturra, Castillo, and Typica are found in the region, with Caturra being the dominant variety.

Asorcafe was founded in 2004 by 10 coffee growers who were tired of selling their coffee to parchment buyers who only offered prices below the national market. Asorcafé exudes an entrepreneurial spirit as they have become leaders of their coffee-growing region. Asorcafé, in conjunction with private and state organizations, provides aid to their members including subsidies for the domestic economy, education, job training, and healthcare services.”
