About: La Cereza (The Cherry) is a community wet mill, research centre, and eco-farm located in the lush green hills above San AugustÍn, Huila. From here, Felipe Ospina processes coffees from surrounding farms, runs training courses, and carries out experiments to make coffee tastier and more sustainable. Sweet & Flowers is a regional blend produced by hundreds of small-holder farmers in San Augustín. The intention behind the blend is to ensure that these producers can receive a profitable price for their coffee instead of being forced to sell it for a lower price on the commodity market. San Augustín is a famous coffee-producing region winning, 31 of the 40 places of the 2019 Cup of Excellence competition! Each coffee making up this lot has been cupped separately before being blended by Felipe and his pro team at the La Cereza community wet mill.
