Learn About the Nariño Region

Tucked into Colombia’s southwest corner, where all three branches of the Andes converge, the Nariño region is defined by its breathtaking elevations, dramatic terrain, and rich cultural heritage. This rugged land, shaped by volcanic soils and a mosaic of microclimates, challenges every coffee cherry to ripen slowly and evenly—resulting in beans that are exceptionally bright, sweet, and full of floral elegance.
Much of Nariño’s coffee is grown by smallholder farmers, including Indigenous communities such as the Pastos, Quillacingas, and the Inga—descendants of the Inca civilization—who carry forward generations of agricultural wisdom and a deep respect for the land. Their ancestral knowledge, combined with a passion for quality, brings depth and meaning to every harvest.
What you taste in a cup from Nariño isn’t just coffee—it’s the spirit of the Andes, the legacy of its people, and the flavor of a region where culture and climate come together in perfect harmony. Expect juicy flavors, crisp acidity, and a story that lingers long after the last sip.
