    About The Producer

    José and his wife, Francy Helena Inga, have been farming coffee for many years. While José grew up in a coffee farming family, he left home at a young age and worked all over Colombia as a bus driver. In the last two decades, he decided to return to his roots and bought El Casino in Sinaí, Palestina. Today, he and Francy manage 10 hectares, five of which are planted with several varieties of coffee including Caturra, Pink Bourbon, Gesha and Tabi. José and Francy also have a huge soft spot for abandoned dogs and have given a home to dozens over the years.

    Processing

    José picks ripe cherries and lets them rest for around 12hrs. He then pulps the selected cherries and allows them to ferment in open plastic tanks for 30hrs. The coffee is washed and dried in solar driers.

    Variety

    Caturra is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety. It was discovered on a plantation in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil sometime between 1915 and 1918. For decades, it was one of the most economically important coffees in Central America, to the extent that it was often used (and sometimes still is) as a “benchmark” against which new cultivars are tested. In Colombia, Caturra was thought to represent nearly half of the country’s production until a government-sponsored program beginning in 2008 incentivized renovation of over three billion coffee trees with the leaf-rust-resistant Castillo variety (which has Caturra parentage).

    Tried the wife’s stuff, and it’s a better tool for the job.
    Husband review: The wife ordered this stuff for herself, skeptical about what’s in a lot of cosmetics. I always went straight for good ol’ Carmex; but I tried it once because I was too lazy to dig around for mine. This stuff is sometimes a better tool for the job. I service swimming pools and work outside in the sun, so I sometimes struggle with dehydration & get cracked lips occasionally. I put this on before bed, and it lasts all night so I wake up better off. It’s not medicated (what she wanted), but it’s hydrating. So while I still occasionally use Carmex at work, reapplying a few times to get damaged cracks together, I use this to maintain & finish the job overnight where the other stuff would have just evaporated within an hour. Another thing: it’s soft, where chap stick would pull on a sore/crack, this stuff goes on an into damaged places like a lubricant.

    Very moisturizing but no honey flavor and can get greasy
    The product is very moisturizing, that's for sure. Tube is large which makes for a messy application on a warm day. Was fine when temp dropped to 77 as shown in picture. Better to dab on with your finger regardless imo. No honey scent or flavor whatsoever which is greatly disappointing. I checked multiple times that I didn't accidently order a plain one. Had a faint meaty scent which is barely noticeable (I'm okay with that knowing it's all natural versus something with chemicals) but then it shouldn't be called "honey glazed". Would have been 5 stars if i wasnt misled and it was advertised as plain (or indicated that you don't taste the honey but it's there to neutralize the tallow flavor), also it could use some (more) beeswax to make it more stable. Suggest re-marketing it in a round tin as an all around balm and making a smaller tube with more beeswax for a lip balm. Versus a traditional lip balm, would recommend this product if you are okay with the nuances noted above.

    What changed in the formula?? Now a chemical smell. 😕
    What changed?? I got one in the fall and LOVED it more than any lip balm ever! But I just got two more (one for my car and one for my bag) and it has a strong chemical smell. I’ve used it for a week, hoping the smell would fade somehow, but it hasn’t. I would love an answer from the company about what changed. And please change back to the original formula! It was lovely, smooth with a slight sweet taste from the honey. The first one was 5 stars, and now I would say 2 at most, so I tried to average it at 4 stars (with hope for a change).

    Warning!!! Contaminated!!!!
    This is the second time I've ordered this lip balm. The first time, the lip balm was great, unscented and worked well, so well that i ordered another to keep in the car. I ordered the same one, just 3 ingredients - tallow, beeswax, and honey. Except this one is contaminated with some kind of chemicals! It leaves an awful taste that permeates my whole mouth. It's like chemicals or strong perfume and kind of stings! Not only am i disappointed but I'm furious because my child used it first! We still have the awful taste in our mouths and I'm concerned what kind of chemicals we might have just been exposed to.

    Must have for chapped/dry lips
    Unfortunately for me, my lips dry easily. Wearing myotape (mouth tape) at night reduces how often my lips get chapped and peel. However, my lips still need regular care. I have been using chapstick that doesn't contain standard endocrine disruptors, petrochemicals, and artificial dyes for years. Since there's concern about the high omega 6 content (and possible inflammatory repurcussions) of using chapsticks that contain sunflower seed oil, etc. In them, I decided to try beef tallow. Most beef tallows come in tins and must be applied by hand, and then the hands must be washed. This product gives you the ability to apply beef tallow to your lips without having to directly apply your fingers to your lips. This is a must have!
