Our Colombian coffee is a well-balanced medium roast with low acidity, that has a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. It has a subtle sweetness, with notes of caramel and honey that add a touch of indulgence.

Sourced from the mountain regions of Colombia, our coffee beans are carefully selected and roasted to perfection to bring out their unique flavor profile. The coffee has a nutty aroma that gives way to a smooth and mellow taste, with a hint of chocolate.

What's so great about Colombian coffee anyway?

1. Ideal Growing Conditions: Colombia's geography provides perfect conditions for growing coffee. Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, it has the ideal climate, with consistent, year-round temperatures and well-timed rainy and dry seasons. The country's mountains and valleys provide high altitudes and fertile soils, both of which are key to producing rich and flavorful coffee beans.

2. Arabica Beans: Colombia exclusively grows Arabica coffee, widely regarded as the superior species of coffee bean due to its smooth, sweet taste, and low acidity.

3. Hand-picked Harvesting: Colombian coffee is often harvested by hand. This ensures only the ripest, highest-quality beans are picked, which significantly contributes to the final quality of the coffee.

4. High-Quality Control Standards: Colombian coffee is strictly regulated by the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia (FNC), ensuring that only the highest quality beans make it to market.

5. Diverse Flavor Profiles: Different regions of Colombia produce beans with varied flavor profiles. Coffee from the mountains of Antioquia tends to be full-bodied and rich, while coffee from the Huila region is often fruity and bright. This diversity adds to the allure of Colombian coffee.

The Farmer: El Vergel coffee farm in Fresno, Tolima.

El Vergel stands as a testament to a lifelong passion for farming inherited from their avocado-growing heritage. They ventured into coffee production in 2012, their hearts captivated by coffee beans of course. Inspired by the specialty coffee movement two years later, a new vision for El Vergel was conceived - a vision that intertwines quality, flavor, and sustainable farming practices.

Their passion blossomed into a comprehensive varietal project in 2016, after extensive research on coffee varieties, favorable climates, and fertile soils. El Vergel's unique location at the foot of the snow-capped Nevado del Ruiz volcano contributes to its distinctive microclimate, which greatly enhances the coffee's profile.
