From our friends at The Coffee Quest:

Throughout the harvest, it’s quite common that small-holders in Colombia produce lots that aren’t large enough to be exported on their own. However, the quality is often just as good (or better) than samples received from larger lots. As such, we buy all coffees, regardless of size and create a larger, export-size lot based on cup score and profile. The result is Las Perlitas Nariño; a celebrated coffee of various small lots from producers in Nariño, whose farms range in elevation from 1,800 to 2,000 m.a.s.l. and grow primarily Caturra. In this iteration, the small lots are made up of producers in the following municipalities: La Union, Buesaco and Pasto.
