Colombia | Single Origin

One of our missions is to introduce you to new coffees and highlight small batch growers. Each month we will bring in a new single origin coffees for you to try! We have roasted these specialty beans to bring out their natural flavors.

Colombia is one of the few coffee origins that almost exclusively grows Arabica coffee. That’s because the high altitudes of the Andes mountains are so well-suited to the cultivation of high-quality Arabica coffee.

Colombia boasts an extraordinary array of microclimates that all lend themselves to an incredible variety of high-quality coffees. Over half a million families dedicate their livelihoods to producing unroasted Colombia green coffee on small farms that dot the country’s volcanic mountain ranges. As the world’s third-largest producing country, the volume, quality, and variety that comes out of Colombia year-round is staggering

Process: 72Hour Anaerobic Fermentation Natural

In the natural process, only the ripest coffee cherries are harvested. The entire procedure requires thorough planning because drying naturals is a slow process that can take up to four weeks. This lot underwent extra anaerobic fermentation for 72 hours before being sun-dried whole without removing any fruit. 

During this stage, the coffee is turned regularly to increase airflow, support even drying, and prevent spoilage. After the cherries have been dried, they rest in conditioning bags for 45 days and are only hulled as the shipment time draws near.
