Monteverde is a regional blend made up of coffee from producers within the Cauca region. The collaborative farms mainly produce micro-lots or are in the process of transitioning into the speciality coffee market. The blend is made up of areas all over Cauca, and each lot that makes up the blend has been screened through strict quality control processes. The purpose of the screening is to identify superior lots that can be sold as micro lots and the coffee that makes up this blend is coffee that has scored just under 87 points based on SCAA cupping protocol. In terms of trading, farmers are paid at a fixed price above the market rate for the coffee that makes up this blend. Any micro-lot coffees are sold at a higher relative fixed amount based on cup quality. These sorts of regional blends are beneficial for coffee producers as it enables another market option for mid to low range scoring coffees.
