Producer overview

Melky Chaves produces coffee in the Nariño department of Colombia, operating at an altitude of 1950 meters. This high-altitude environment provides the growing conditions for the farm's agricultural output. The varietal cultivation documented in the catalog centers entirely on Caturra. This single cultivar accounts for all recorded lots from the producer. The processing profile recorded in the catalog consists of washed preparation methods. The handling centers on this traditional approach across the observed offerings. The catalog footprint includes 11 total coffees, all of which are currently in stock. A single roaster, Think Coffee, carries these lots in the index. The average Cherrybook Index across these offerings stands at 47.2. Recent catalog entries feature the El Muro lot, roasted by Think Coffee, utilizing the Caturra variety. The work of Melky Chaves in the current catalog is characterized by a focused commitment to the Caturra varietal processed via washed methods for a single roasting partner.
