Friend Blend

Friend Blend is our collaboration with our friends at Numa Coffee, who’ve been serving Elm at their coffee cart. They wanted to serve something special and we found an amazing coffee from a young new producer from Nariño, Alexander Cabrera. Made up of castillo varietal grown at a breathtaking 2250 masl, we found it tastes of passionfruit, chamomile and white tea in the cup, a wonderfully delicate coffee.

Cabrera is a member of the San Busco group, a small producers association located at dizzying elevations of 2100 - 2300 meters, but within a microclimate insulated from the cold normally found at those altitudes. This is our first year carrying any of their coffees and they seem to be as unique as their geography suggests: very delicate and with complex fruit character, even with “garden-variety” hybrid varietals like Castillo and Caturra.
