This edition of our Women in Coffee series comes from Carmenza Paya, mother of Eider Socorreño, the producer behind our popular Nasa We'sx coffee from our Indigenous Coffee series. This coffee hails from their family farm, Mirasol, in the Nasa Indigenous Reserve in central Colombia. For the past 25 years, Carmenza has led her family toward producing high-quality specialty coffees with minimal environmental impact. Six years ago, she helped her family obtain organic certification for the farm, setting a high standard for others in her community.

Mirasol is a balanced coffee, with sweet, rich notes of chocolate, a citric orange-like acidity, and subtle notes of baking spices to round out the cup.
