Young Producers Project

The coffees associated with the Young Producers Project originate in Colombia, specifically within the Antioquia region. This sourcing reflects a collaborative focus on regional smallholder lots, bringing together multiple agricultural contributors under a unified project banner. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog includes Castillo, Caturra, Colombia, and the distinctive Chiroso variety. This selection covers both traditional regional cultivars and more localized regional variations. Processing methods observed in the catalog include washed treatments and experimental preparations. This variety in processing allows for distinct flavor profiles to emerge from the same foundational regional harvests. The catalog footprint for the Young Producers Project includes representation from two roasters, with two total coffees entered into the index. Recent catalog examples feature the Colombia Young Producers Chiroso Washed roasted by Dessert Oasis Coffee Roasters, alongside the Unblended lot from Black & White Coffee Roasters utilizing an experimental process with Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia varieties. The work of the Young Producers Project is distinguished by its collaborative structure, spotlighting multiple regional varieties and processing methods across different roaster offerings.
