Renowned Coffee Profile

Coffees from Pitalito are celebrated for their bright acidity, pronounced sweetness, and full body, which provide a balanced and delicious coffee experience. The flavor profile of our Narrator has notes of orange, honey and cherry - and is a perfect medium roast.

• Orange: This note brings a bright, citrusy zest to the coffee, adding a refreshing and slightly tangy quality that makes the overall flavor profile a subtle splash of sunshine, enhancing the coffee's liveliness.

• Honey:  smooth, sweet richness that balances the acidity of the orange. The honey note gives you a silky texture and natural sweetness, making each sip luxurious, and warmly inviting.

• Cherry: Adds a juicy, slightly tart finish that complements the sweetness of honey and the zestiness of orange. This note is the complexity you need, rounding out the flavor profile with a clean and vibrant finish.

 We chose to make this beautiful bean as a medium roast and as the best selling Paper st. coffee we hope you don't knock it til you try it if you are a light or dark roast dedicated drinker. We want to highlight even more reasons why we love The Narrator - the region and life of the coffee bean before it gets to your cup!

Exceptional Growing Conditions - The perfect environment

Pitalito is strategically situated in the southern part of Huila, within the fertile Magdalena River Valley,  nestled with Colombia’s Central and Eastern mountain ranges. This geography ensures an optimal microclimate for coffee cultivation, like slow growth of the coffee cherries which contributes to the complex flavors we love.

Commitment to Quality - On the same page

Pitalito has been referred to as the "coffee capital" of Colombia due to its significant contribution to the country's coffee production and the high quality of its beans. Many farmers in the region, including the family we support -  have focused on specialty coffee production for nearly two decades, aiming to elevate the standard and reputation of Colombian coffee on the international stage. This commitment to quality is evident in the meticulous processing methods adopted, which often include fully washed beans that ensure clarity and cleanliness in your brew - which is one of the many reasons we love to source from this region.

Sustainable Practices and Community Impact

The coffee community in Pitalito is characterized by smallholder farms, many of which employ sustainable farming practices that not only preserve the natural environment but also ensure the health and ongoing fertility of the land. These practices are crucial for maintaining the high standard of coffee production and for supporting the wellbeing of the local communities involved in its cultivation. The region , the communities, the families and the practices truly reflect in what we stand for at Paper St. Coffee.
