TIMANCO, COLOMBIA- FILTER COFFEE

Timanco, Colombia

An easygoing, washed-processed filter coffee with excellent "drinkability." Notes of ripe plum, red apple, and brown sugar sweetness. The coffee's body also holds up nicely with a splash of (plant) milk.

Timaná is one of Colombia's oldest original settlements. The area is known for its unique geography and water resources. It is surrounded not only by the Andes mountains, but also the Magdalena and Golden Rivers. This combination of geographic factors gives coffees from the region their balanced, complex character.

Coffee growers from Timaná are descendants of three indigenous tribes who once joined forces to rebel against the Spanish conquerors.

The producers contributing to Timanco are from Tarqui and Timaná, with farms ranging from 1 to 5 hectares. Most work as a family, with each member playing a role in coffee production. What unites these producers is their dedication and passion for growing coffee.

Since the brand was established and more producers have joined, significant changes have been observed on their farms, including improvements at the wet mill and expanded drying areas. The producers have also gained more knowledge in areas such as processing, cherry picking, fermentation, drying, and identifying pests and diseases, with support from the PECA agronomist.
