This is Marleyi Córdoba's first year of producing specialty coffee, and her first year working with Monkaaba and Semilla. As a child, her family moved to San Agustin to establish a very small farm, but the high altitude and cold climate made it incredibly difficult to cultivate coffee. After traveling for work for years, recent family tragedy left running the farm solely to Marleyi and her mother.
Even in the face of many personal and economic adversities, Marleyi is committed to investing in her farm. She is motivated by the friendships and support of the Monkaaba group, and we're so honored to play our role in roasting and sharing her beautiful coffee.
This coffee is slightly more dense than some other espy coffees. Try grinding a little bit coarser if your brew times are getting too long.
