About the coffee

Roasted at our coffee roastery south of Cambridge these beans are always a popular choice from our collection. This bean is a blend produced by our green bean supplier from cooperatives, associations, and direct partners located across Colombia's most famous coffee-growing departments. Sales of this coffee support sustainability projects in local communities.

If you are looking for the perfect fresh coffee to drink on its own without milk as a pour-over, or filtered, this coffee will provide a well-rounded, full body, chocolate, and fruit-forward with bright acidity.

Master roaster's assessment

This bean takes some careful roasting to tease out the sweetness and still maintain the clarity produced by the high acidity. The high level steps followed are: 

Medium temp to drying phase 
Medium heat to end of maillard 
Medium heat to first crack with increased airflow 
Lower heat prior to first crack with 15-20% development time.

We slow down the roast to try and bring out the syrup flavours without compromising acidity.
