Frequently Asked Questions
It is elegantly sweet with a full, juicy body. Rated 4/5 for Body and 4/5 for Sweetness, this single-origin coffee offers a complex profile with distinct notes of blackcurrant and black forest berries. It avoids the sharp acidity often associated with Colombian coffee, delivering a smooth, vibrant cup that is "refreshing throughout the day."
No, this is a smooth Medium Roast (Strength 3). We roast these medium roast coffee beans to a specific profile that highlights fruit sweetness without burning the bean. It offers "vibrant depth" without the bitterness or oily surface of a dark roast. If you dislike the harshness of Italian-style roasts, this is the ideal choice.
Yes, sourced from Smallholder Farmers in Huila. These are 100% Arabica beans plucked from the South-Eastern corner of Colombia at an altitude of 1,400–2,000 masl. Sourcing directly from smallholders in this renowned region ensures you get authentic, high-altitude whole coffee beans that are denser and more flavorful than diluted supermarket blends.
It ensures clarity and balance in every cup. The "Washed" method used for these beans removes the cherry fruit before drying. This processing style is what gives our Colombian coffee its crisp, clean taste and allows the specific blackcurrant and berry notes to shine through without being muddled.
Yes, but expect a fruitier, sweeter latte. Because it is a Strength 3 roast with berry notes, adding milk turns it into a dessert-like treat (think berries and cream) rather than a strong, punchy cappuccino. It is perfect if you prefer subtlety and sweetness over intense strength.
We recommend grinding just before brewing. We roast in small batches in the UK to ensure you receive fresh coffee beans. However, as our description highlights, for "crisp freshness every time," buying whole coffee beans and grinding on demand is always superior to buying pre-ground.
The bags are not resealable. To maintain the quality of your Colombian coffee beans, we recommend transferring the beans from the bag into an airtight storage container immediately after opening.
Whole Bean, Ground, and Coffee Bags. We offer formats to suit every lifestyle: Whole Coffee Beans: For maximum freshness (grind at home), Ground Coffee: Optimized for Cafetiere/Filter and Coffee Bags: For maximum convenience, giving you a fresh brew without any equipment.
It shines best in a Cafetiere or Filter. To extract the "naturally sweet" flavor profile, immersion methods (like a French Press) or pour-over filters are ideal. These methods allow the water to gently pull out the complex sugars and black forest berry notes without scalding the ground coffee beans.
No, the pre-ground bags are too coarse for Espresso. Our pre-bagged ground coffee beans are ground specifically for Cafetiere and Filter methods. For Espresso: We recommend buying the whole coffee beans and grinding them finer at home. This will produce a rich crema and a fruitier, lighter espresso shot.
It produces superior beans due to unique volcanic growing conditions. The Huila region in South-Eastern Colombia is famous for its nutrient-rich volcanic soil and high altitude. These conditions allow the coffee cherries to ripen slowly, developing the "juicy body" and natural sweetness that supports the local farming communities by commanding a premium in the global market compared to standard Colombian coffee beans.
Yes, it offers specialty grade quality at an accessible price. While some exclusive Huila microlots can be extremely expensive, our Colombian coffee offers the perfect balance of premium quality and daily value. You get the distinct "specialty" notes of blackcurrant and caramel for a price competitive with standard high-street blends.
