Colombia Kachalú produces a solid cup of coffee in an average-to-full, creamy body, nice brightness, with average sweetness. Expect chocolate, walnut, caramel, and citrus notes. We recommend roasting from medium where the full flavor is met, while avoiding too light of a roast. 

Cultivated in the Andes Mountains and blanketed by natural forest, it's no surprise that, for the past 4 years, Colombia Organic Kachalu has been recognized by the Rainforest Alliance Awards as one of their top five certified coffees.

Kachalu is a tight-knit, experienced group with 110 producers on farms that average 25 acres in size, small enough for each producer in the group to manage their own micro-mills, where meticulous care in cherry selection, depulping, fermenting, and drying coffee takes place. The group has worked with the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia (FNC) where in addition to marketing coffee internationally, the FNC provides producers with financing, training, and technical assistance to improve coffee quality. The FNC also strives to improve the quality of life for coffee producers and their families through projects promoting income diversification and education.
