Head in the Clouds

This single-origin specialty coffee comes to you from the region of Intag, in the province of Imbabura, Ecuador via a direct trade partnership between our friends at Cloud Forest Coffee and a local farmers’ cooperative, Asociacion Agroartesanal de Cafecultores de Rio Intag (AACRI) Ecuador. The community this coffee comes from has been resisting mineral exploitation for over 20 years and are fighting to maintain a vision of development that does not include mining. AACRI was started by local families as part of this resistance to the destruction and pressures of resource extraction by foreign mining companies in the Intag region. It provides an alternative and sustainable (economic and environmental) form of livelihood for local people through coffee farming. This organic bean is shade grown at high altitudes, which also makes it a bird-friendly coffee!

This organic coffee is a crowd-pleaser—it has a faint sweetness, creamy body and a hint of acidity. The big chocolatey aromas are accompanied hits of cherry fruit and almonds nuts. Definitely a classic taste for all coffee lovers to enjoy.
