Product Overview
Full Cupping Notes

At City roast level, the dry fragrance is enmeshed with notes of caramel, brown sugar and raisin. With a shade more roast development raw sugar and darker roast tones are a bit more intense, especially in the wet grounds where the coffee aromatics build into something more aligned with sundae toppings like dark chocolate sauce, hot caramel, and even a hint of roasted nut. The flavors at City and City+ revolve around caramel and unrefined sugar sweetness, with an aromatic note of butterscotch hard candy. The profile spreads out to include layered accents of fruits like dried peach, raisin, and apple. The acidic impression has characteristics of citrus, adding a very pleasing juicy element to the brew at lighter levels. Taking the roast to Full City lays down weaves a ribbon of cacao/chocolate bar bittersweets with subtle hints of red berry. Full City roasts are delicious as espresso, and patch together dark chocolate syrup with plump fruit accents into a bittersweet shot, with a fragrant touch of anise on the nose

Farm Notes

Origin & Farm Notes

This is a small producer blend made up from coffee farms near Buesaco town, in Colombia's Nariño Department. We put this blend together after cupping several samples from the region, the goal being to separate out any coffees that hit our quality target. The local coffee association is a newer venture started by two brothers who stepped out on their own to offer a more direct and transparent option than some of the local competitors. Association membership continues to grow, and we're always presented with some truly impressive coffees, including on our Summer 2025 visit to their warehouse cupping lab. Farms are typically planted in Caturra and Variedad Colombia (F4 and F6 types), grown at altitudes between 1700 and 2000 meters, and each contributing lot in this batch are fully washed.
