A new crew of young Indigenous farmers (the Nasa Wesx) teamed up with Belco to flip the script in the Tolima highlands. They went natural process on this lot and absolutely crushed it—huge fruity pebble blast, tropical candy vibes, juicy as hell, and somehow still super clean on the finish.
Fresh energy, bold moves. These Yuppies didn’t fuck it up!!!

This coffee is the result of a collaboration between Belco Coffee and a group of Indigenous Nasa Wesx people from the highlands of Tolima. Led by a new generation of young Nasa Wesx—passionate individuals known as the "Young Professional People" or "Yuppies"—this project is dedicated to revitalizing the land and strengthening their community. We're proud to support their mission and celebrate their dedication to preserving and evolving their coffee heritage.
Their fresh perspective shines through in their decision to use a natural processing method for this lot. From the very first sip, their commitment to quality is unmistakable, intensely fruity, incredibly juicy, and rich in body. But what really sets it apart is the finish: crisp, clean, and refreshingly quick.
Across different roast levels, we tasted a vibrant spectrum of flavors—blueberry, strawberry, blackberry (the “Berry Trinity”), along with bursts of mango, lime, passionfruit, and even a playful hint of Fruity Pebbles. It’s a true fruit bomb! The Yuppies of the Nasa Wesx took a bold swing with this project—and absolutely knocked it out of the park.
