This coffee originates from the Antioquia region near Amalfi, close to Medellin, Colombia. The green coffee beans have a cupping score of 86.5 points and are sourced from the Coffee for Peace initiative, which supports farmers in post-conflict regions transitioning from illicit crop production to specialty coffee cultivation. The coffee is processed using the washed method and features varieties including Castillo, Colombia, and Caturra. It is a medium espresso roast with flavors of Spanish orange and fruit honey alongside caramel fudge with a medium body. The aroma is rich with slight citric acidity and a long, sweet aftertaste. It is certified as Specialty Coffee and Fairtrade.
