The Holiday Bean | Suyusama Washed
Sangria, Pomelo, Brazil Nut
Each year we select an in-season coffee from one of our Direct Trade partners to feature as the Holiday Bean. This offering from Finca Villa Loyola's Suyusama Program offers a beautiful balance of nutty, citric, and chocolatey flavors—lively and festive!
Aromas of red grape, clementine, and hazelnut greet you, followed by notes of sangria and marshmallow in the cup. Pomelo acidity and milk chocolate sweetness resolve into a Brazil nut finish.
“Suyusama” means "beautiful place" in Quechua, the language of the Indigenous Peoples of the Central Andes. Founded in 2004 by our Direct Trade partners at Villa Loyola, the Suyusama program promotes participatory farm management processes for local and regional sustainability. The program educates farmers in methods of organic agriculture, coffee processing, and understanding the value of their crop. Alongside these skills, Suyusama also strives to improve sustainability throughout Nariño by focusing on five areas of impact: political, economic, social, cultural, and environmental.
