The association of coffee producers "Los Naranjos" is the quintessential example of small-parcel Colombian coffee culture. This high-caliber group of 97 farmers have produced some of the highest quality coffee that we have seen come out of Huila, and this year, the group perfectly executed their harvest. The fact that this lot, a combination of 97 different farms, hits our Aces mark speaks directly to the kinship and common-drive that thrives in the hills above the humble town of San Agustin. The sharing of techniques and practices between this group of producers is one of the most important factors in the progress of this association, and with an average farm size of a humble 1.5 hectares, the sucess of the group is absolutely contingent upon the discipline of the individual. This coffee is harvested at full-ripeness, fully washed, and patio/parabolic dried to ensure a cup that is equally bright, fruity and complex with a soft and sweet body.

The Video above shows the people, sights, and sounds of the members of Association Los Naranjos in San Agustin, Huila Colombia. These amazing people's coffee is some of the most exquisite Colombian coffee, and we are proud to have grown with them over the past several years, seeing their members win Cup of Excellence, the United States Barista Championship, and the World Barista Championship. We have proudly sent this coffee across the globe to the US, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Europe, and Korea. The global demand for this coffee is a testament to the integrity of these people and their commitment to quality. Thank you Los Naranjos!
