Description
This year’s Holiday Single Origin Espresso comes from Carlos Guamanga’s El Recuerdo farm in Colombia. Showcasing a fully washed Caturra lot, this coffee offers a honey-like sweetness, bright orange citrus, and notes of red apple that linger smoothly on the palate.
Roasted to a light-medium profile, it delivers a cup that’s both vibrant and comforting; a perfect reflection of the season’s warmth and celebration.
SOURCING STORY
For our Holiday Single Origin Espresso we have chosen a long time favorite Colombia El Recuerdo. El Recuerdo is a legendary coffee farm located in the hills near Pitalito, Huila.
