Argote Specialty Coffee

argote specialty coffee is a family farm based in colón-génova, nariño, colombia, operating at approximately 1,900 metres above sea level. the farm has been producing coffee for around 70 years and operates as a direct exporter, removing intermediaries between the farm and international buyers. their sourcing model centers on microlots, with green coffee evaluated and certified by q graders prior to export. argote participates in the cup of excellence competition, which subjects lots to multiple blind cupping rounds judged by internationally certified graders. minimum order quantities are set at a full container load, making them most suitable for roasters able to commit at that volume. all coffee offered is colombian origin, with the nariño region known for high-altitude growing conditions that typically contribute brightness and pronounced acidity in the cup. the farm's dual role as producer and direct exporter gives buyers a short supply chain and direct communication with the source. buyers looking for traceable, graded colombian microlots from a single-origin farm with competition-level quality benchmarks are the primary fit for this supplier.
