ID 3190, Teyuna 

The cup is much richer than most Colombians.  It has dark chocolate, tobacco, honey, and roasted peanut in the cup.  This coffee has milder acidity than many of our other Colombian microlots from Huila and other regions.  This is a very unique project, and we are very proud to work with the Kogui Tribe in Colombia!
