Colombia Medellin Excelso

Medellin, Colombia


Hey folks

New origin in this week from Coffee Supreme. We have been sipping on some Colombia Medellin Excelso and we think its pretty darn tasty. Colombia was the worlds second largest coffee producer until recently and is now ranked third behind Brazil and Vietnam. It is grown at the foothills of the Andes at an altitude of 1600m. The coffee is grown by small holding farmers and large co-operatives. 

This is a wet processed coffee and has been roasted to medium-dark. It has a rich aroma of honey, nuts and a savoury aroma of freshly baked bread. I tasted some nice cherry fruit notes with some deep earthy undertones that followed through to a nice lingering finish of caramel. I thought it had quite a low but crisp acidity. We have been enjoying this coffee and have had some positive feedback. Stay tuned for next weeks Origin of the week and just a reminder we will be offering both tea and coffee tastings in store.
 We hope you all have a Totes awesome weekend.

Take care everyone.
