The Young Producer Project cultivates opportunities for Colombia’s next generation of aspiring specialty coffee producers. The program allows for the young producers to be mentored by a veteran producer and to actively work on improving their craft. 
We are huge fans of the awesome work Unblended is doing to build up the future generation of specialty coffee producers in Colombia!

This offering is a collaboration lot from select young producers who combined their harvest of Chiroso. The mentees farmed and processed their harvests under the mentorship of Elkin Diosa. The hand picked cherries are fermented in open tanks for 2 days, then depulped and washed. The washed seeds are then sun dried and monitored until they reach target moisture levels.
