Unroasted - Colombian Supremo SC 17/18

About the bean

This coffee is a superstar in the brewing world. Whether you’re pulling a shot of espresso, making a pot of drip, or experimenting with French press and Aeropress, the Supremo shines. Not only does the Supremo deliver an unbeatable consistency and flexibility, its price point has also managed to resist the soaring increases of the last several years. 

Taste Test: The Supremo's balanced sweetness and lively acidity shine through at a lighter roast. Even at a Full City+ roast, its signature chocolate-nuttiness remains robust. Opting for a darker Vienna profile transforms the cup into a rich, dark chocolate that’s almost decadent. This coffee is a dream paired with milk for specialty drinks, perfect for any brew method, as an add to blends, and a forgiving friend for first-time roasters (as well as seasoned). In hand, these complex and well-structured beans are big and true to their screen size of 17/18, which is not always the case with the same screens from Brazil in our experience. Roasting tip: Supremo tends to benefit from a slightly extended Maillard phase (for a pleasant, rounded, and silky mouthfeel).
