About the bean
Another hit from the Huila region of southwest Colombia, where offerings are sweet and complex thanks to a slow maturation process, supported by rich volcanic soils. Spanning over 154,000 hectares across 35 municipalities, Huila is celebrated for its genetic diversity and rich cup variety. Supremo SC17/18 beans are large and uniform, and meticulously processed to ensure a top-notch calibre. Sourced and milled by A. Laumayer y Compañia from dedicated smallholder farms, each cherry is handpicked and fully washed to land a clean, bright cup bursting with citrus notes, made memorable by a smooth chocolaty finish.
We taste-tested this cocoa-citrus character as both a City and Full City roast enjoyed across a range of brew methods. We particularly recommend a Full City, French press result (rich, dense and sweet, lots of body), and as a drip coffee—this might be our favourite. The acidity lowers at a Full City profile, a light roast gets jumpy! A flexible pick regardless.
