This coffee is a single-origin selection from the Nariño region of Colombia, grown at an altitude of 1700-2200 meters. It is a washed process coffee featuring the Castillo and Caturra varieties. The flavor profile is characterized by notes of dark chocolate, almond, and pink grapefruit, offering a full-bodied, crisp quality with a sweet, lingering finish. It is well-suited for both espresso and filter brewing methods.
Cult Coffee Roasters started as a small Edinburgh neighbourhood spot in 2014 before adding its own roasting operation in 2020. The roastery, now based in Newbridge near Edinburgh, uses a 6kg Giesen to roast small batches on Mondays and Tuesdays each week, developing separate profiles optimized for espresso and filter brewing. The team takes a collaborative approach to dialling in each coffee, tasting together to find roast curves that highlight the work done at origin. Sourcing prioritizes seasonality, with the range evolving throughout the year to reflect what is freshest and most interesting from producing regions. Cult's ethos centers on inclusivity and knowledge sharing within Scotland's growing specialty coffee community.
