This single-origin Colombian coffee comes from the Department of Tolima in the Andean mountain range. It is sourced from an association of 39 small specialty coffee farmers in Plandanas who work together to improve quality and negotiate better prices. The coffee is washed processed and features a rich, creamy body with flavor notes of milk chocolate, cherry, and tropical fruit. It is mildly nutty, tangy, and fruity, finishing with intense lingering cane sugar sweetness. This classic Tolima coffee is supremely well-balanced.
Kinani Ahmed founded Sextant Coffee Roasters in San Francisco in 2014, drawing directly on his upbringing in Ethiopia, where he grew up immersed in the country's deep coffee culture. He personally roasts all the beans, using equipment designed to highlight their inherent sweetness and complexity. Sextant works directly with farmers across Ethiopia, Kenya, and Colombia, buying only from sources with established, sustainable relationships. Ethiopian coffees remain central to the lineup, a reflection of Ahmed's heritage and his belief that the best way to honor coffee's origins is to stay close to them.
