Cabresto, Colombia
Cabresto takes its name from the coffee association through which this coffee is sourced. It is cultivated exclusively in the municipality of Andes in western Antioquia, particularly within the rural districts of Santa Inés and Santa Rita.
The coffee comes from approximately 30 smallholder farms, many of which are smaller than 0.5 hectares. These farms sit at elevations between 1800 and 2000 metres above sea level, where cooler night temperatures play an important role in the development of the coffee cherries.
The region benefits from humid air currents coming from the Chocó lowlands, which move across the cordillera and contribute to cooler nights and slower cherry maturation. This extended development period allows sugars within the fruit to develop more gradually, contributing to brighter acidity and greater flavour clarity in the cup.
