Finca El Plan is located near the town of Arboleda, in one of the most dangerous parts of Nariño. Illicit crops like coca are common with violence, corruption and intimidation—an unfortunate reality of this area. A brave group of farmers like Carmen Moncayo continue to grow coffee in spite of these difficult circumstances. This is the third year Carmen’s coffee has been separated as a micro-lot. With new improvements to farming practices and processing techniques, her coffee continues to be a great example of a terroir-driven, minimal intervention coffee.
