ABOUT THIS COFFEE
Colombian Coffee
Colombia produces some of the most popular coffees in the world and has a reputation for its well-balanced and mild coffees. They are the second largest global exporter behind Brazil and you would be hard-pressed to find someone that doesn’t enjoy a cup of coffee from Colombia. Colombian coffees are extremely popular as they can be roasted dark without turning excessively bitter and can thus be used for espresso drinks.
Most coffees that come from Colombia are either Supremo or Excelso, which refers to the coffee bean size and grade. Excelso beans are large and pass through grade 16 sieves, while the Supremo is slightly larger and pass through Grade 17 sieves / perforations. These coffees can be harvested from the same tree but will be sorted based off their individual sizes. These coffee types are almost identical in flavor and composition. The most esteemed coffees come from the MAM region: Medellin, Armenia and Manizales areas.
Colombia Excelso EP Medellin
Medellin is one of the primary Excelso producing regions in Colombia. This specific Medellin Excelso is EP (European Preparation) which means the raw beans are hand-sorted to remove any foreign materials and defective beans. This coffee has a Q grade cup score of 84. It has a sweet cocoa and brown sugar aroma, a mild winey acidity, a sweet fruity aftertaste and a smooth, medium body. People love this coffee for its rich balanced flavor and is a great as a stand-alone coffee and also to blend with.
