Blanca Ligia Riascos

Blanca Ligia Riascos has lived in Nariño most of her life and inherited the family farm from her parents. She works the land together with her brothers, sharing the same drive for quality — a commitment that earned the family fourth place at the Cup of Excellence.

The farm sits at 2000 MASL in Veracruz, Buesaco, in the canyon influenced by the Juanambú river. Cherries are fermented for 48 hours and slow-dried for around 20 days under the Honey process, letting the mucilage shape a sweeter, more layered cup.

In the light roast, expect a Colombia variety with structure and a real sense of place: juicy sweetness, bright orange-like acidity, berries, brown sugar and the clean complexity Nariño coffees are loved for.
