COLOMBIA HENRY MUNOZ - WASHED ROSADO RED APPLES - BROWN SUGAR - BUBBLE GUM VIBE Huila / San Agustin Monkaaba smallholder coffee growers / finca Los Naranjos Rosado aka 'Pink bourbon' Elevation: 1800 MASL Imported by Semilla Fully washed From Semilla's original purchase in 2020 of six producers, the Monkaaba project has blossomed into a tight-knit network of 60 families, all of whom are driven by an interest to know more about their coffee, how it might be improved, and how they can form resilient, stable relationships. It may surprise the coffee drinker and even the specialty coffeee professional to know that the vast majority of Colombian smallholders, despite all their nation’s fame as a coffee producing country, still find themselves locked out of a market that would offer them a basically sustainable price. San Agustin has a long and storied history of coffee production, being one of the first areas to participate in the Federacion Nacional de Cafeteros (FNC). There are some 6,000 growers in this area, and yet the vast majority continue to sell their coffees either for market prices for about half of market price. The producers are often being lied to about their coffee quality when they stumble upon a buyer who's not honest. Front cover by @ditastuch
