A rare Colombian-grown SL28 — juicy, vibrant, and exquisitely refined.

From producer Elias Roa of Finca Tamana, this washed SL28 is a standout in both story and cup. Roa is widely respected in Colombia as an innovator in coffee production and variety diversity, but perhaps more importantly, for his commitment to the people who work on his farm. He has consistently invested in improving the living conditions and quality of life for his workers, setting an inspiring standard for producers worldwide.

The coffee itself is a shining example of washed processing at its best: bright, layered, and beautifully balanced. Expect notes of grapefruit, rose hip florals, and peach ring candy — a cup that dances between delicate and juicy, with sweetness and nuance at every turn.

ABOUT THE COFFEE

IN FOCUS: Colombia Finca Tamana

This lot is especially notable for its varietal: SL28. Rarely seen in Colombia, SL28 was originally developed in Kenya in the 1930s by Scott Agricultural Laboratories — hence the “SL.” It has long been prized across East Africa for its ability to thrive in high altitudes with limited rainfall and for the exceptional quality it brings to the cup. Renowned for its bright, wine-like acidity, rich mouthfeel, and fruit-forward character, SL28 consistently garners high scores in international tastings and auctions, making it one of the most celebrated cultivars in specialty coffee.

Outside of its home regions, SL28 is not easy to grow — it is particularly susceptible to leaf rust and other challenges — but when successful, it delivers extraordinary results. In the soils and climate of Colombia, Roa’s work with SL28 shows how terroir can bring new dimension to an already storied variety. The result is a cup that reflects both the bold character of SL28 and the refinement of Colombian terroir: juicy, vibrant, sweetly balanced, and unforgettable.
