ABOUT FLOR MELINA
Flor Melina is the partner of Jhon Wilson Poveda. She produced her own lot of coffee this year to enter into the Acevedo Cup regional competition. Her coffee performed extremely well, placing 5th overall. We couldn't be happier for this family’s continued success, and are honored to have the opportunity to roast their extraordinary lots of beautifully produced coffee.
ABOUT THIS FIELD BLEND
This is a field blend of the three most commonly grown varieties in Colombia: Castillo, Variety Colombia, and Caturra. Both Castillo and V. Colombia are Catimor hybrids, which give them high disease resistance. Caturra, on the other hand, is a natural mutation of Bourbon, and is very susceptible to disease.

The cost of getting a coffee from cherry to beverage varies enormously depending on its place of origin and the location of its consumption. The inclusion of price transparency is a starting point to inform broader conversation around the true costs of production and the sustainability of specialty coffee as a whole.
