ABOUT LA PLATA

This is a meticulously constructed field blend of multiple producers that don't individually grow enough coffee to be considered a micro lot. We therefore blend their coffees together to create a larger volume that remains fully traceable and transparent both physically and financially. While the vast majority of our coffee selections are either single-producer micro lots or what are referred to as 'regional blends', the producers contributing to this blend are all fully organic or in the process of transitioning to fully organic, and we are very excited about our first year supporting this initiative. This field blend is comprised of the three most commonly grown varieties in Colombia: Castillo, Variety Colombia, and Caturra. Both Castillo and V. Colombia are Catimor hybrids, which give them high resistance to disease. Caturra is a natural mutation of Bourbon, which is very susceptible to disease.
