Bolivar Cauca - Auction Lot, Colombia

SUBASTA POR LA PAZ - AUCTION LOT - BOLIVAR COMMUNITY MICROLOT.

A testament to collective strength, this washed Cauca coffee represents a small group of Bolivar neighbors who pooled their harvests to compete—and win—in Colombia's Subasta Por La Paz auction. Nanelle selected this as her top lot for its distinctive flavor profile. Their success exemplifies how community collaboration and unwavering perseverance can overcome profound challenges, producing exceptional coffee.

Colombia’s coffee dominance is built on scale and precision. Coffee grows across regions like Huila, Antioquia, Nariño, and Tolima at 1,200–2,200 meters. Near-equatorial latitude enables near year-round harvesting, while widespread innovation in washed and experimental processing drives consistency. Millions of smallholders produce clean, high-acidity coffees with remarkable volume, diversity, and global reach.

At Torque we believe in buying more coffees from fewer producers and fewer origins We go deep rather than wide. We focus our coffee sourcing to work with a smaller group of like minded coffee producers who share our vision for changing the world of coffee.

Preparation Style: Omni, Espresso, and Filter

Our approach to both sourcing and roasting is that every coffee has to be good enough to stand on its own. No blenders, no base coffees, no filler. We take that same approach to roasting and preparation methods. All of our coffees are excellent in nearly every brew method from pour over to espresso.

That being said we have our preferences and so we label our coffees with Espresso, Filter or Omni as a quick way to guide you.

Subscription Type: Modernist and Espressoist

This coffee will be featured in one of these coffee subscriptions.

Proportional Pricing

A minimum of 20% of this bag's retail price stayed in the country where the coffee was grown. Built into the price from the start, not sent back later. The higher the price, the more stays at origin. You don't have to trust us on it. The full math is public.

Sustainability Info

We aim for carbon beautiful, not just carbon neutral. Coffee farming done right stores carbon and protects forests, so we'd rather support producers who farm that way than just offset our own footprint. The full picture is on our Carbon Beautiful page.
