Maker Comments | Colombia, unlike most South American countries, drinks rather than exports most of its cocoa. Luckily, Casa Luker, a family-owned company, has invested for over 100 years their passion and knowledge in growing the best Cacao Fino de Aroma sustainably. At their research farm near Manizales, they explore the properties of each genotype of cocoa tree and provide farmers with a range of seedlings to optimize flavour, natural resistance to diseases and yield. They also teach how to plant a variety of crops from cocoa to plantain, exotic fruits and timber to ensure that farmers can live every year from their lands. I chose lightly roasted Trinitario beans from Huila, Tumaco and Santander. In this Columbian blend, the robustness of Santander beans is lifted by the floral notes from the Huila beans and the fruity ones from the Tumaco beans. |
