Brew with Memli - Astrid Medina Finca Buena Vista, Colombia

As the season is slowly changing, I wanted to smoothen the weather transition with an excellently produced Fall coffee with orange and sugary colors. This coffee is the perfect example of a flavor profile highlighting a fresh, bright side with mandarin and star fruit tones as well as a rounder and sweet aspect with panela notes.

You could say that coffee is a way Astrid is able to keep her family together & help them thrive. Astrid Medina knows that the quality premium paid for her coffee by the highest bidder will bring rewards for her entire family, her employees, and positive improvements to her farm, Buena Vista. She and her husband work tirelessly on their farm to ensure high-quality specialty coffee. Ultimately, this has enabled her eldest daughter to study environmental engineering in Bogota.
