About this Coffee

La Union comes from Julio Bastidas's Finca San Isidro Labrador in La Unión, Nariño — a single-farm washed Castillo lot.

Indicative pricing on request. Final pricing depends on lot, volume, and delivery terms. Typical MOQ starts at 35 kg.

A traditional 24-hour fermentation produces a smooth, rounded cup with deep chocolate and brown sugar notes.
