Back in March of 2020, we met Nancy not on her farm but in the café-roastery she built in the town she calls home in La Paz. At the time we were blown away by not only her delicious coffee, but the place she’d built to enjoy it. It became a cherished memory once the world shut down, one last coffee with a producer we admired before everything changed. We are so excited to finally share that coffee after all of this – it takes us back to a time that feels so long ago. This lot is a washed coffee.
The Jazmin farm was built in 2008 by Nancy. It was always her dream to follow in the footsteps of her parents and grandparents to have a farm. She spent years learning about processing and cultivation on her parents farm until her uncle offered her the opportunity to transform what was some disused land into a coffee farm. That was how Jazmin was born.
