Colombia Coffee Beans

Colombian coffee are the true workhorse origin of the coffee world.

They punch well above their weight, carrying through amazingly high levels of flavor and acids to any cup profile.

Our seasonal Colombian is from the highly respected Huila region - known for producing wonderful rich coffees with lovely sweet fruit notes and milk chocolate flavors.

A highly versatile coffee that can be used across any brew application - espresso, plunger, drip, filter, stovetop, percolator.

Body : full

Aroma : bakers cocoa

Acidity : Pineapple, red berries, juicy

Flavor : Pineapple, toffee, caramel and candy sweetness

Bold, rich, high flavoured.

The classic hallmarks of quality Colombian coffee are rounded flavour and balanced acidity.

Colombia has a highly-regarded and ambitious coffee heritage spread over thousands of small landholders.

Compared to other origins like Brazil with mega-sized farms, Colombia's coffee farms take a remarkably different approach with a higher number of smaller-sized farms.

These smaller farms produce quality crops across a diverse range of cup profiles all year round.

Colombia is a big coffee producer in volume and geography - ranked between #4 and #5 globally.

One of the best features of Colombian coffees is that you can source fresh crops throughout the calendar year.

In contrast, all other origins have distinct 6 or 12 monthly seasons.

Colombia has always commanded respect across the coffee-buying market as a producer of exceptional export qualities.

The country is also well-known and trusted by coffee consumers around the world.

Perhaps one of the most popular coffee-growing countries.

The cup profile of classic Colombian is a rich, intense and rounded cup with hints of blackberry, cocoa, chocolate and caramel.

Colombian coffees have a delightfully clean acid that works remarkably well for milk-based espresso.

Supremo versus Excelso - which is best?

There are two main types or classifications of Colombian beans - Supremo and Excelso.

Sorry to disappoint - there is no winner here.

Both types produce exceptional coffees. It comes down to the preferences of coffee roasters as to which is selected.

You may be surprised that only Colombian coffee types - Supremo and Excelso- are defined by physical sizing.

It's never taste or flavour.

Supremo is a giant-sized bean, with Excelso being smaller in physical appearance.

A more giant coffee bean means less flavour or sweetness. 

Size means nothing in the world of coffee, and we prefer the sweetness of Excelso coffee over Supremo.

Why Colombian Coffees are so popular

Besides the fantastic quality, great flavour and rounded cup, Colombian coffees are popular due to their abundant availability throughout the year.

Colombia is unique in the coffee growing origins as a large physical area means the crop cycles occur at different times of the year.

For all other coffee-growing countries, the crop cycles are fixed periods once or twice a year.

With Colombia, as soon as one area (or Department as they are known) finishes their harvest, it's time for another place to begin.
