Qima Cafe describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, floral, winey. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Colombia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

winey and floral are unusual here — 5% of coffee from Colombia are described that way, and 15% of coffee from Colombia are described that way.

Region

Huila

Variety

Pacamara, Pacas

Not stated

farm or estate, producer, process, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
