This is a blend that uses the strengths of three really great coffees to assemble the ideal flavors for this Extra Bold profile.

First we have a coffee from the Tolima region of Colombia, grown by 8 members of the CDNT farmer's group. Through an associative structure, CDNT is committed to increasing farming income for "caficltores" (coffee farmers) based on differentiation and not charity, so that their livelihood can become a sustainable and profitable business model.

The coffee from Mexico is actually the majority of the blend, and comes from several smallholder farmers in Oaxaca. This coffee was grown on small, garden-like farms with an average size of 1 - 2 hectares (2.5 - 5 acres). Some of the farmers who grew & harvested this coffee also depulped their coffee fruit to remove the seeds (aka beans), fermented & dried the seeds themselves, as opposed to bringing it to a centralized micro mill.

The last component of this blend is from Papua New Guinea, produced by the Arokara cooperative in the Eastern Highlands. Pretty much all coffee in PNG is de-facto organically grown, since chemicals or fertilizers are expensive, and the distance between towns and coffee gardens is too far to carry chemical inputs. Plus, the soil is incredibly rich here, food grows everywhere, and fresh water is abundant.
