This special coffee was produced by Edward Sandoval on his estate, Canta Ranas. Pedro Echavarría, of our long-time export partner Pergamino, describes Edward as “a rare breed of coffee producer.” This is because Edward has accumulated years of experience working in agriculture as a technical advisor and coffee quality assessor and has poured this expertise into his farm.
Canta Ranas had been abandoned for years when Edward purchased it, however over the past decade he has carefully refined his cultivation practices to achieve better yields and elevate his quality – producing incredibly special coffees like this one. This microlot is 100% Chiroso, a variety Edward favours for its high productivity in Tolima’s cool climate and its uniquely floral and complex cup profile.
