Carmen Montoya

Carmen Montoya produces coffee in Colombia, specifically within the Antioquia region and the municipality of Urrao. Cultivation takes place at a high altitude band ranging from 1900 to 2100 meters above sea level. This geographical setting provides the cool temperatures and climate conditions suited for high-elevation arabica production. The varietal landscape in the catalog features plantings of chiroso alongside other unspecified cultivars. Chiroso is a distinctive local variety known in the region for its elongated bean shape and aromatic cup profile. The process portfolio represented in the catalog is focused entirely on the washed method. All five recorded lots from this producer utilize washed processing, highlighting a consistent preparation style across different roaster offerings. The catalog footprint includes five different coffee roasters carrying lots from Carmen Montoya, with one lot currently in stock. The average Cherrybook Index across these offerings is 68.4. Harvest representations span multiple roaster catalogs under various naming conventions. Recent catalog examples illustrate this distribution across roasters. Sey Coffee and Monogram Coffee both feature washed chiroso lots, while Modcup Coffee, Onyx Coffee Lab, and Tandem Coffee Roasters offer washed lots classified under other varietal categories. Overall, the work of Carmen Montoya in the catalog is characterized by a strict focus on washed processing and an emphasis on the chiroso variety grown at high elevations in Antioquia.
