Celebrating their 10th anniversary, Clearpath Coffee founder Vicente Mejia discusses the company's idealistic origins, which focused on creating a social impact by connecting remote Colombian producing families with the global market. We also talked about "new school" innovative processing (using technology and specialized methods) and "old school" tradition (focusing on terroir and clean washed coffees) in the Colombian specialty coffee industry, including names like Nestor Lasso, Jhoan Vergara, and Wilton Benitez. Clearpath’s exclusive Colombia Legends auction features 15 of Colombia’s best farms, segmented into Heritage and Innovative Producers known for pushing boundaries. This invitation-only auction, running December 1st through the 3rd, offers a unique opportunity to taste the best of both competing philosophies, including a rare, limited-production lot of Inmaculada’s Eugenoides, a coffee known almost exclusively as a competition lot.
