Working out of "respect and harmony for Mother Earth", ASOANEI produces a smooth, sweet and lightly acidic coffee from the northern mountains of Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Serrania del Perija regions. Founded in 1995 by Aurora Izquierdo, the first indigenous woman of the Arhuaco tribe to leave home for a university education, ASOANEI helps develop the local economy while also preserving traditions of the local Yewrwa community.
I think I get why Care Campesino roasted these St. Marta Snow Mountain coffee to French: this coffee has both its aroma and taste note an amazing roastING wild walnut (sect. Cardiocaryon) tone that cannot be strengthened until dark. If these Arhuaco coffee pits were light-roasted they would just become another plain fruity Colombian coffee but now it's special. Upon transferring the wholebean coffee to a jar, for hours my entire room smells like the day I roasted the oil outta the wild picked Juglans cathayensis at home.
If you're not familiar to the oily wild walnut, from what I read the indigenous American butternut (a.k.a. white walnut, sect. Trachycaryon) is similar in taste, look, genetic history and everything, so you may get the note if you've ever roasted that before.

Columbia French Roast
It’s my favorite after trying most of the single origin. I’ve been getting coffee here for maybe 15 years. It’s the best.

I only drink espresso. And since 2005 I only use this Colombian French Roast coffee.

Columbia French Roast
My favorite coffee. Have been drinking it for years. Combined with the House Blend Decaf French Roast (brew half of each together) I enjoy two 16 ounce mugs each morning giving me the necessary jolt while enjoying 32 ounces of superb coffee each day.
