Colombia – San Gabriel Direct Trade This coffee from Finca San Gabriel marks the beginning of our direct trade relationship with Carolina and her family. They not only cultivate the coffee with exceptional care, but also manage the exporting process themselves — ensuring quality, transparency, and integrity from farm to roastery. We are honored to partner with them and proud to share our expression of their work. In the cup, this Colombia is smooth, sweet, and deeply approachable. Notes of cacao and brown sugar form a comforting foundation, while a subtle berry brightness and ripe cherry nuance add lift and complexity. Its mild acidity and balanced structure make it both familiar and quietly refined — the kind of coffee that elevates your daily ritual without demanding attention. Roasted to highlight sweetness and clarity, this offering performs beautifully across brew methods. As espresso, it presents rich chocolate and sugar cane sweetness with a gentle fruit finish. As filter, it opens up with balance and elegance, showcasing its layered sugars and clean, lingering aftertaste.
