The Andes Natural opens with a deep, tart sweetness, like biting into a freshly picked black cherry. That sweetness deepens into a heavy body, transforming the tartness into notes of cooked strawberries, reminiscent of homemade strawberry jam. These flavors bring a fruity, clean dimension to a nutty, candy-like Toblerone chocolate finish. The Andes Natural is a great choice for adventure seekers and coffee enthusiasts who want a little more fruit in their cup while still enjoying the comfort of a familiar, satisfying profile. 

This coffee is grown by Nolberto Uriate Julca, who has lived and worked in the fields since the age of 10 when he started helping his family on the farm. In 2000, at the age of 20, he planted his first 5,000 coffee trees, earning a modest first harvest of 5 quintals. By 2025, the harvest increased to 150 quintales – today, at 45 years old, Nolberto continues to innovate, experimenting with new exotic varieties to meet the demands of the growing specialty market. His farm has provided the financial stability to educate his children and create new opportunities for his neighbors, many of whom take part in the yearly harvest.
