CUPPING NOTES FROM OUR HEAD ROASTER

Undoubtedly one of the most complex and well-structured Colombian coffees we've had the pleasure of working with. This Bourbon varietal from Edwin Noreña takes your palate on a journey with every sip. Expect a vibrant grapefruit acidity at the top, which leads directly to an extraordinarily clear and fresh note of rosemary. This is followed up with an explosion of floral notes, chief among them jasmine and honeysuckle, with orange blossom and rosewater tailing behind. Due to the experimental IPA processing method used with this coffee, you can expect a very pleasant hoppy finish which blends perfectly with the lingering note of grapefruit cordial.

FARM

This coffee comes from Finca Campo Hermoso, a traditional farm in La Plata, Huila run by Juan Camilo Campos. What makes this farm unique is its beauty that comes from his respect for traditions. Juan inherited the farm from his ancestors, and over the years since, has been expanding it including purchasing additional hectares of land for additional coffee production. He currently lives and works at the farm.
