Description

Description

Colombia boasts diverse coffee-producing regions, each with its unique microclimates and elevations, nurtured by dedicated farmers. Coffee’s journey in Colombia traces back to the 19th century when Jesuit priests planted the first seeds. Today, Colombia stands as a leading coffee producer globally, with cultivation spanning across 20 out of its 35 departments, predominantly driven by smallholder producers who craft exceptional coffee.
Among these regions lies Nariño, nestled in the southwest corner bordering Ecuador. Blessed with volcanic soil, Nariño owes its name to Antonio Nariño, a pivotal figure in Colombia’s fight for independence alongside Simón Bolívar. Despite enduring conflicts with guerrillas and paramilitary groups, Nariño remains resilient, steeped in rich history.
Our journey leads us to the picturesque town of Buesaco in the Juanambú Canyon, a verdant Andean Valley within Nariño. Once marked by battles for independence, Buesaco now thrives as an agricultural hub, thanks to coffee. Coffee cultivation here has empowered local producers

Process
At the heart of Buesaco’s coffee production are dedicated farmers, primarily cultivating the Caturra variety. This specific lot, sourced from 50 producers, combines Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia varieties, each processed at the individual farms.
Following meticulous harvesting, the cherries undergo pulping to remove the outer fruit layer. Subsequently, they undergo fermentation to eliminate residual mucilage, followed by thorough washing and sun drying on patios until optimal moisture levels are achieved.
Through partnerships with local organizations, Pergamino has nurtured relationships with over 150 producers in the region over eight years. This collaboration has not only elevated the quality of coffee but also empowered local communities.
Thanks to the collective efforts of Pergamino and the coffee industry, Buesaco is experiencing a renaissance. The community thrives with safer livelihoods, reduced risks, and a more secure future, all while continuing to produce exceptional coffee amidst the majestic mountains of Nariño.
