San Sebastián 12 oz

Tastes of Aromas of chocolate and allspice. In the cup we taste vanilla, caramel, and crisp white grape, with a lingering caramel finish and a refreshing mouthfeel. Region Latin America Producer Approximately 250 small coffee growers members of the Asociacion de Productores de Café de Alta Calidad del Occidente del Huila (OCCICAFE) OCCICAFE was founded in 2003 and is the result of the merger of several smaller coffee grower associations that existed in La Plata at the time. They realized that by working together and striving to produce high quality coffee they would have more benefits and economies of scale to compete and differentiate themselves in the market. Today the association has over 320 members from the municipalities of La Argentina, La Plata, Paicol, Nataga and Tesalia. Its members are small-scale coffee growers, whose farms range from 1 to 5 hectares and at altitudes ranging between 1,400 and 1,900 m.a.s.l. All of them process their coffee in their small beneficios and then dry the coffee in covered patios until the coffee reaches the optimal moisture level. The name “San Sebastian” is a tribute to the original name that the Spanish gave to the town that was “Villa de San Sebastian de La Plata”. The name “La Plata”, which translates to “silver” in English, comes from the fact that when the Spanish arrived to this region in the sixteenth century they found silver mines. La Plata was also a stopping point in the route from Santafe de Bogota to Quito during the Spanish colonization.
