The caturra variety has deep roots within the coffee history of Colombia.

Sadly, many growers have abandoned this variety for more exotic or more disease resistant varieties. But the Parcero growing group has worked hard to maintain their caturra trees and celebrate not only the deep tradition, but the excellent quality cuturra has to offer. This lot represents a top tier blend of caturra from a handful of producers. In all ways, this is an absolutely exceptional coffee.

Fresh off the grind the aromatics are intensely sweet and complex ranging from dark to tropical fruits. In the cup we are tasting everything from red grape to guava to ripe Bosc pear. If you have long loved coffee from Colombia for its big flavor, fuller mouthfeel and impeccable balance, this lot will over deliver. If you love the more exotic varieties Colombia is now known for, like pink bourbon and gesha, this caturra easily gives those a run for their money. Beautiful coffee in every way and we are honored to share it with you.

1Spot purchase

“Spot” is coffee in an importer’s inventory they have not sold. When we need to fill gaps in our contractual and relationship purchases, we buy spot. Of course, we are always open to spot becoming relationship purchases, and sometimes they do.

 2Contract purchase

Most of our purchases are contractual, meaning we have made a commitment to purchase the coffee before it arrives in the US. In general contracts are meant to build security for the producer and importer, and to help us make sure we have the coffee we need to share with you.

 3Repeat purchase

We are proud of the fact that many of the coffees we purchase are repeat purchases, and have been for years. Most producers, especially from Central and South America, can count on us purchasing their coffee year after year.

 4Visits

We’ve met, and have an ongoing relationship with the producer. At a minimum, they have visited us at Sweet Bloom, or we have visited them on the farm. As the relationship deepens, we build our understanding of:

1) challenges faced from one year to the next
2) sustainability practices on the farm
3) how the farmer is caring for their staff
4) ways in which we can support projects the farmers have implemented on the farm and in the community
