"Meet Camilo, The Tayrona coffee, and Sierra Nevada"

Our coffee Tayrona comes from Camilo's farm up in the hills of Sierra Nevada, Colombia. He is an expert farmer and a sales director of cooperative Caficosta. He works hard on his farm, producing good quality coffee, keeping it organic, and helping the neighbours around the farm improve their living. At the same time he is helping a big community of farmers in the cooperative, by being in charge of promoting their green coffee to locals buyers and of other countries. We've been partners with Camilo for more than three years now and thanks to him we are able to promote Tayrona as our specialty espresso beans! his coffee is well known in our Prenzlauer Berg shop.

"Tayrona and Sierra Nevada"

The Sierra Nevada region is located in the north coast of Colombia. It is next to the Caribbean sea and the main city in the region is Santa Marta. Sierra Nevada is considered the tallest mountain range next to an ocean in the world. The hills are very steep and you can experience different ecosystems in short time. The lost city, an old archaeological site is found in these mountains.

The name Tayrona of our coffee comes from the national park Tayrona (named after local tribes of the area). It is a jungle area that meets the ocean. It is a great site to enjoy.

‍

Characteristics Tayrona coffee are low acidity with rich chocolate notes. We roast it a bit longer to help get some more caramelised flavours with some great aromas
