IN FOCUS: Colombia Gaitania

This coffee came to us from the indigenous Nasa Wesx community in the Gaitania micro-region of Tolima, Colombia. The community places a strong emphasis on environmental care and conservation through its work.

Our original listing described their coffee as organically grown but not yet certified, with certification still in progress at the time of the release. It also recorded consistently high-80s scores and marked our first year partnering with the community.

The House Coffee roast was used as batch brew in our cafés and offered an approachable everyday cup, with or without cream and sugar. The Espresso roast received more development and was used in our cafés’ espresso drinks. Both listings described the same origin, producers, variety, process, and tasting profile.

Fully washed processing highlighted the coffee’s clean character, with stone fruits, deep red fruit like raspberry, chocolate, and pops of tart lemon-bar sweetness.
