🌿 Discover the Pure Essence of Antioquia Colombian Coffee! 🌿
Let’s face it, it’s almost impossible to have any discussion about Colombia without touching on the subject of coffee. Colombia is among the most diverse single origins of coffee with 16 distinctly different coffee-producing regions. Colombia is about 1.15 million square kilometers in size which is about twice the size of France. In addition to having many microclimates and a wide range of growing altitudes, Colombia has access to Atlantic and Pacific coastal shipping ports facilitating its position in the top 5 largest coffee producing countries in the worldwide.
🔥Roaster’s Notes:🔥 Rich & Robust Caramel Chocolate Perfection!
This certified organic green coffee from Colombia’s Antioquia department offers a sweet, clean cup with notes of milk chocolate, caramel, dried fruit and hints of citrus.
Colombian coffees are well known for their flexibility in the roaster. While different roast depths will favor certain brewing methods, as with any origin, Colombian coffees don’t favor a specific roast. For this reason, we will be offering two fairly wide – spaced roasts: A Medium Light and a Medium Dark.
☕️ Brewing Suggestions: ☕️
As with any other of our coffees, the dark roast will be optimal for Espresso machines and other devices engineered to mimic the espresso extraction process. Moka pot brewing will also have more favorable cups when using darker roasts.
Medium roasts, on the other hand will be more suitable for pour-over, French press, and (though we generally try to talk people out of it) drip coffee machines.
Organic Colombia Antioquia RFA
Every sip of our Colombian coffee is a journey through layers of deep, complex flavors, boasting notes of chocolate, caramel, and a hint of citrus that tantalize your taste buds with every sip. Grown by smallholders at altitudes ranging from 1650 – 2200 meters above sea level, this blend of Castillo, Caturra and Typica coffee varietals was fully washed, sundried and sorted to minimize defects.
Today, Antioquia is the second largest coffee-producing region in Colombia after Huila. Antioquia represents an estimated 16% of the country’s massive coffee output. Antioquia is characterized by hills and valleys along the slopes of the Andes. The climate is stable year-round, with warmer valleys and cooler mountains, contributing to a pleasant cup profile that includes sweet, spicy, nutty, and fruity notes.
