It's back! 2025's El Ajial caturra was a delicious coffee, and we're cracking open our precious freezer reserve to share this limited supply.

From 2025: El Ajial is a goldilocks coffee that has just the right amount of everything: a little tart cranberry, juicy citrus, and ripe stone fruit.  

El Ajial is a very special oasis located high in the Nariño region. Spanning just three hectares, Luis Alfredo Lopez inherited the land in the early 2000's from his father (and first coffee mentor). With the help of his wife and community, they use one hectare solely to produce specialty coffee. The other two hectares are a self-sustaining ecosystem with avocados, corn, beans, peas, and a cow for fresh milk. 

Only ripe cherries were collected, sorted by density, de-pulped and fermented in tanks for 24 hours. The coffee was washed twice and dried under shaded canopies for 15-20 days.

Process: Washed

Region: Nariño, Colombia

Variety: Caturra
