This coffee is one of the jewels guarded and produced by the Inga tribe, in the town El Tablón-Aponte in Nariño. The Chilito Family grows it in the highest parts of Aponte's coffee production regions. The name honors relentless effort of the Inga tribe to preserve and take care of the earth making them "The Guardians" of their lands.

Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn't want to do it.
