This coffee is produced by the FUDAM Growers Association, a 300-member group of smallholders located in the municipality of La Unión, Nariño, Colombia. Grown at an altitude of 1500–2200 meters, this organic, Fairtrade, and Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee consists of Castillo and Colombia varieties. The beans are washed and fermented for 16–24 hours before drying. This very light roast offers a flavor profile featuring notes of lemon shortbread cookie and sweet rice cake.
Wasatch Roasting Company was founded in 2016 by Darren and Tonya Blackford after a trip to Costa Rica sparked their fascination with small scale coffee roasting. What started with a tabletop roaster has grown into an in house roasting operation in downtown Ogden, Utah, where the Blackfords roast specialty grade beans in small batches. The company sources from producers and importers who prioritize sustainable practices and fair compensation. Wasatch also doubles as a community gathering space, featuring rotating gallery exhibitions and work by local artists and artisans throughout the shop.
