This is a sweet, balanced coffee that consistently delivers really tasty brews with minimal fuss. Whether you're a home espresso enthusiast or a filter fan you'll find it a dawdle to get this dialled in to your preference, and a cinch to repeat every day.
Sourced by Cofinet from the Nariño region of Colombia, there are a few reasons why this coffee is special. The region has the highest altitude at which coffee is grown in the country, meaning the temperatures are usually quite low. Slower maturation of coffee cherries in lower temperatures usually produces higher concentrations of sugars, which gives the perfect building blocks for a great cup of coffee. The other big factor in Nariño's reputation in coffee growing is the soil. The high volcanic activity in the are means that Nariño's soil is rich in volcanic ash; the nutrients from this soil helps plants grow more healthily and are thought to contribute to greater complexity in the final cup.
When brewed the sweet, ripe fruit notes remind us of red apple, with lots of smooth milk chocolate keeping things all connected. The sweetness of the caramel is lighter particularly when the coffee is consumed black, but in milky espresso-based drinks it's more like a rich caramel sauce.
