This coffee is a delightful blend of castillo and caturra varietals from the volcanic slopes of Nariño, south Colombia.

Volcano explodes with a flavour profile unique to Nariño’s growing conditions. Boasting a large number of volcanos in the area, Nariño’s soil is nutrient-rich with volcanic ash, locking in extra flavour at the root.

The region sits higher in altitude than most other coffee growing regions, especially in Colombia, resulting in a lower average air temperature. The cooler climate helps the coffee cherries to mature at a slower rate, preserving the sweet sugary taste. 

The Volcano project highlights the exceptional qualities of Nariño’s coffee, thanks to its fertile soil, high altitude, and ideal harvest conditions.
