Pastry-like with elderberry and jammy sweetness with mango as it cools, this 100% Caturra variety is grown by Luis Vicente Morales in the Tasnaque, Yacuanquer area of Nariño, Colombia. Luis’ coffee is special to us because it was the first direct relationship for Luna when we first started and we have an arrangement with Luis where we will take all his specialty grade coffee. This is the second lot from this most recent harvest for the 2021/2022 period.

Backstory
Soaring 2100 m above sea level and cool relatively dry climate Luis grows mainly Caturra variety, a total of around 10,000 trees planted on two hectares. He has another half hectare, 4500 trees of Caturra that he regularly enters into various local contests. Small lots, but they’re exceptional.
The store will be temporarily closing from now until later in October. Subscription Sign-ups remain open, and if you want to hop aboard for the October subscription, please sign up by October 5th.
We plan to have limited coffee available from our last production in our old space, roast date Oct 2nd - If there is inventory in the shop it will be from this time, feel free to order until sold out.
After many months of planning, it’s finally time for us to move our little roastery to a new space where we can stretch out and grow.
We’ll be putting our Diedrich IR-12 roaster on a truck, 25km to it’s new home at our new location near the foot of Allouette Lake in Maple Ridge, BC.
We hope to be back up and running as soon as possible, but until then all our energy will be needed to focus on the move and get the roaster back in operation.
Wish us luck and thanks so much for all your support. Can’t wait to be roasting for you on the other side! - Laura & Nate Dismiss
