Nectar de Urrao, from Antioquia, Colombia
Nectar de Urrao is a Washed communal lot that represents the Valley of Penderisco in Urrao, Antioquia, and its most iconic variety: Chiroso. The lot brings together the work of smallholder producers from across the region, with farms located at elevations between 1,700 and 2,000 m.a.s.l. The majority of contributing farmers grow and contribute Chiroso, a variety known for its complex, and delicious profile. This lot honors the variety that has helped put Urrao on the specialty coffee map!
We have been working in Urrao for years, but finally improved logistics and opened an official buying station here in 2025, with the goal of expanding our network of producers in the region. This lovely Nectar includes lots that ensure all coffees that enter the buying station have a home whereby we can pay a premium price. Creating this communal lot requires careful quality control, it’s not by luck! Each small lot is cupped multiple times to ensure consistency and select coffees will enter this lot, or be micro-lots, etc.
One Word: Chiroso
From the first cupping when producers bring samples to our buying station, to the final cupping at the warehouse where samples are taken from every sack, consistency is key. Once approved, the parchment coffee is packed in GrainPro and stored until the entire lot is milled.
Nectar de Urrao reflects the hard work of the producers who trust and collaborate with us. They value our transparent model and the fact that we buy coffee across a range of qualities. Fair prices are only the beginning – we provide feedback on every lot we cup, whether we purchase it or not. Buying across quality ranges allows us to help producers refine their processing methods and reduce concerns about price fluctuations. This coffee represents an essential part of the supply chain because it encourages producers to continue pushing the limits to produce quality, while feeling confident that any experiments are likely to still receive premiums.
Nectar de Urrao showcases the producers’ expertise, our QC process, and our commitment to fairness and quality. Every cup tells the story of the Valle del Penderisco, where dedication and skill come together and Chiroso shines!
