Origins

• 70% – El Meridiano A Grade, Colombia

  • On the south of the department of Tolima, there is a big municipality in its geographical extension called Rioblanco. In the southern part of this municipality there is a corregimiento called Herrera nestled in between mountains with the Hereje River passing on the valley on the side of the town. This area has incredible and unique agroclimatic conditions given its secluded place and closeness to the National Natural Park of Huila’s Snowcapped Mountain and National Natural Park of Las Hermosas.

    El Meridiano comes from this specific area and its name from the Paramo (Andean moor) del Meridiano. Paramos are important ecosystems found at high altitude with unique flora and fauna, and they act as sponges where water is collected on the ground and rivers are born in them. In the case of this paramo, the Hereje River is born here and then goes down the mountain passing through the side of the town of Herrera. This has been area which su ered the inner conflict of Colombia through many years, but coffee has become an important agricultural activity. Coffee has been a key component of the life of Herrera and Caravela starting to work with them since 2009.

• 30% Ethiopia Guji

• This is a Grade 2 washed coffee from the Guji region of Ethiopia, composed from cherry from about 450 smallholder farmers outside the town of Shakiso, growing traditional Ethiopian heirloom varieties at elevations ranging from 1800 to 2100 masl. Washed process coffees from the Wersi washing station are depulped within hours after harvesting before undergoing tank fermentation for 36-48 hours. After the mucilage has broken down, coffees are carefully washed with fresh water and dried on raised beds under parabolic shade nets for 5-7 days. 

  Unlike other countries, in Ethiopia coffees are graded solely based on cup quality and number of defects, not size. Grade 1 and Grade 2 are considered "Specialty" at origin. Grade 2 washed coffees usually offer similar flavor characteristics to their G1 counterparts at a slightly more approachable price.
