How it sits among coffee from Colombia

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Colombia: 1,039 of 1,556 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

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

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Colombia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

What the roaster says about where it came from

Country
Colombia
Region
Nariño, Cauca
Not stated
farm or estate, producer, process, variety, 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.

Region

“This group of smallholders live in and around the small municipality of La Unión in Nariño, where the terrain differs greatly in comparison to other coffee-growing areas like Cauca: Instead of walking up from the town to the farms, as elsewhere, here the towns are at such high elevation that the farms are typically lower in elevation, surrounded by high peaks and rough road.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

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.
