Fairtrade Colombia – Medium Roast

🔥 Roast
Medium roast—balanced to highlight both the bright fruit tones and underlying chocolate depth without overpowering the bean’s natural character. 

👅 Tasting Profile
A smooth, engaging cup with medium acidity, rounded body, and layered notes of dark chocolate, mango, peach, and “nice complexity,” offering a refined, nuanced experience. 

🌱 Grower
Grown by a small group of dedicated lifetime growers who formed Café del Macizo in 2003 in Planadas, Tolima. This cooperative shares decades of knowledge to maintain high quality. 

🌿 Variety
Includes traditional Colombian Arabica varietals: Caturra, Castillo, and Typica—all known for expressive flavor and balance. 

🌍 Region
Cultivated in Tolima, nestled in the foothills of the Central Cordillera—an ideal terroir for specialty coffee. 

🏔 Altitude
Grown between 1,500–2,100 meters above sea level, ensuring dense bean structure and refined flavor development. 

🧱 Soil Type
Though not explicitly detailed, this highland region is characterized by volcanic, mineral-rich soils, typical of Colombia’s mountainous terroirs.

🛁 Process
Fully washed and sun-dried; graded Excelso and EP to ensure uniformity in flavor and appearance. 

Brewing Tip

For best results, use a pour-over or drip method with water at 195–200 °F and a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio. This brings out the fruit and chocolate layers with clarity and balance.

Final Note

Temecula’s Fairtrade Colombia is a superior single-origin coffee—ethically sourced, regionally distinct, and complex in flavor. It stands out with elegant fruitiness, refined body, and rich cocoa notes—perfect for discerning coffee lovers who appreciate quality and integrity.
