OUTSIDER
An artist who doesn’t suck up to the tradition of art, who is either weird or self taught or just makes things the way they like.
The Outsider presents the best an origin in season has to offer, changed 4 times a year to stay fresh and curious.

A note from our supplier, Nordic Approach:
Alex Barrantes is part of the Aromas Del Valle Cooperation. They are located in the Cajamarca Region of Northern Peru, and transitioned from an association to a cooperative in 2021. With around 300 members, the cooperative aims to enhance representation, facilitate greater member participation, and provide improved access to funding. Their goal is to cultivate niche markets and actively engage in the coffee social movement at both national and international levels.
In our sourcing efforts, we focus on microlots, communal, or cooperative blends from the northern regions around Jaen and San Ignacio. Typically, the family-run farms range from 1 to 3 hectares, where producers handle the entire coffee production process, from harvesting to drying. Those participating in premium programs, like ours, often invest in production and hold parchment to create potential microlots or enhance community blends.
Aromas Del Valle incentivizes members with quality premiums and social programs, including education, reforestation, and microfinance through partners like Cafe Selva Norte. To guarantee the transparency of price, premiums, reimbursement, and other support to its associates, Cedros reaches agreements among its members in a general assembly, which is democratic and transparent. Distribution is approved by members and then disbursed accordingly.
Our coffee comes in craft paper bags which contain a plastic liner on the inside to guarantee freshness of our coffee. Please dispose properly at your local plastic trash container. The Village Coffee is roasted fresh every week, and best consumed within four weeks after roast date. We advice to rest our espresso coffees for 5 days before brewing. Store your coffee in a dry, dark and cool place, avoid the fridge.
