ABOUT THIS COFFEE
This coffee comes from 36 producers in the Garzón municipality of Colombia’s Huila province. Only ripe cherries were picked, and the beans were fermented (for varying amounts of time, depending on the altitude of each farm) and then washed and dried on patios and in some cases also drying silos.
PROCESSING
The 36 producers are members of the Cooperativa Multiactiva de Cafeteros Garzón Dorado, an association formed in 2011. Today it has 142 members from five villages in Garzón.
All smallholders, these producers farm approximately 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) of coffee each. They’re very aware of the potential in their land to produce great quality, and so they’re meticulous in their agricultural practices.
GEOGRAPHY
Garzon, in the center of Huila, has three microclimates: the humid Magdalena River Valley, dedicated to cattle raising; the Llano de la Virgen, an arid grassland; and the mountainous Central Region, which is home to most of the population and many farms. The economy is agriculture based, with coffee providing 45 percent of the income and 78 percent of local jobs. There are 6,838 coffee farms planted with 8,508 hectares of coffee (most farms are 3.5 hectares, with 1.5 hectares dedicated to coffee).

Testimonials
Newberry is North Torrance's first "third wave" roaster, an area where the only places you can find coffee are at Starbucks, Coffee Bean, and McDonald's. They import beans from around the world, utilize high quality ingredients, roast locally, and establish partnerships with small farms.

Excellent locally roasted coffee. Their choice of single origin plus roast length is always spot on. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I like this place because it's a local roastery and I appreciate what they do amid heavy competition from big coffee companies nearby. I came in to buy a bag of beans to try. They are knowledgeable about coffee, and when I mentioned I wanted the beans to be grinded for my moka pot, they knew exactly what I was talking about and how coarse the grind needed to be. I like how they mention the origin and type of process that is used to roast the beans, which for me is the mark of a true coffee expert.
