We traveled to Nariño in 2010 for the Cup of Excellence competition and tasted some unforgettable coffees from Buesaco. We decided to visit to see for ourselves the source of such extraordinary coffee, and we never stopped going back. El Bado was among the first farms in Nariño we sourced from, and it has made regular appearances on our menu ever since.

How To Brew

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from intelligentsia.com.
