From Schot Coffee Roasters

Tarcisio Gonzalez and his family were pioneers in coffee cultivation in La Union, Huila. Now in his 70s, Tarcisio recalls arriving in the region and planting coffee with his family. He purchased his own farm, Finca Carmelita, as a young man and continues to produce coffee to this day. The farm is situated at 2.000 meters near the town of Acevedo. “Coffee has given me everything I have,” Tarcisio says. He credits his success to hard work. A close relative of Cuatro Viento’s founders, Don Tarcisio’s coffee harmonizes history with exceptional flavor. During the natural process, the coffee cherries are carefully handpicked at peak ripeness and laid out to dry in the sun, allowing the sugars in the fruit to infuse into the beans, imparting its distinct sweetness and complexity. Expect an expressive fermenty cup with notes of cherry, cocoa nibs and blackberry.
