Quick Guide

What is this coffee?

This is our first coffee from Arnulfo Leguizamo out of San Agustin, Colombia, but I promise you it won’t be our last. The dark chocolate note here is tempered by smooth vanilla sweetness that keeps the cup approachable and easy to drink. The orange juice brightness on the finish gives it just enough pop to make sure you reach for another sip. This is a daily driver. The kind of coffee you can brew in a V60 on slow days or put in your Moccamaster when you’re in a hurry. I’m so glad we’ve been able to start working with Arnulfo.

Processing Method

Washed Process- Washed processing is coffee's most common and reliable method. Through depulping, controlled fermentation, and thorough rinsing, this water-intensive process minimizes variables to produce clean, bright cups that showcase origin characteristics and variety.

Country

Colombia- Colombia exports over 12 million bags annually, making it the world's third largest specialty coffee producer. Perfect climate, mountainous terrain, and numerous microclimates create incredibly versatile coffee, from bold chocolate notes to bright fruity profiles, with smooth, balanced flavor.

Altitude

1840masl - Altitude is typically correlative to the potential complexity of a coffee bean. The higher in altitude the coffee is grown, the denser the bean will be, resulting in a more dynamic cupping experience.

Classification

Brown Label- If not for those who come before us in the supply chain, we would not be the company we are today. In light of that, we see it critical to help producers in whatever way we can to develop in their craft as well.

• Pink Bourbon

In the world of coffee varieties, color usually follows predictable patterns. Green cherries ripen to yellow, then red, sometimes deep purple. But occasionally, nature—or careful cultivation—produces something unexpected.

Enter Pink Bourbon: a variety that ripens to a distinctive pink, like a sunset caught halfway between day and night.

But Pink Bourbon is more than just a pretty face. This mysterious variety has become one of specialty coffee's most intriguing offerings, combining the classic Bourbon sweetness with enhanced resilience and a flavor profile all its own.

Washed Process •

In the washed process, a machine removes the cherries’ skin and pulp, and the remaining beans are left to ferment in water. It’s by far the most common way coffee is processed—but makes this method so popular?

Washed Process

Colombia

The country of Colombia (not Col-um-bia) boasts some pretty extraordinary claims to fame.

It is the world’s leading exporter of emeralds–exporting 70-90% of the world’s supply. It is the world's second most biodiverse country–with more species of bird than in Europe and North America combined. It has the world's tallest palm trees (up to 200 feet tall!) and the world’s most colorful “rainbow” river (Caño Cristales).

It is also the third largest producer of specialty coffee in the world, preceded only by Brazil and Vietnam. But it didn’t arrive at that place overnight.
