We’ve chosen a lighter roast to bring out the fruitiness of this coffee. To us, it tastes like orange jelly tots & soft brown sugar. Best enjoyed black as a filter brew, we recommend 60g of medium ground coffee per 1l of water.

For farmers in San Adolfo, speciality coffee has transformed their community.

While under occupation by the FARC and other armed groups the town had a history of violence. Government support, a long reconciliation process, and the introduction of coffee farming as a sustainable income have turned things around.

This particular coffee is from Cafe Lumbus, a group of five farms and their surrounding neighbours. One of the varietals, Pink Bourbon, is a rare hybrid, tricky to grow but known for its complexity and sweet flavours. Ripe cherries are picked, pulped to remove the skins and washed to remove the fruit of the cherry before being dried.

The farmers work together to improve coffee quality, secure higher prices and drive a more sustainable industry for San Adolfo. Their hard work is paying off as they have gained international recognition for the quality of their coffees.
