This coffee is from El Tambo, a municipality in Cauca, central-western Colombia, produced by the women's cooperative ASMUCAFE (Asociación de Mujeres Agropecuarias de Uribe). The coffee grows at altitudes between 1400-2000 meters and consists of Castillo and Colombia varieties. It undergoes a washed process with double fermentation: cherries are left in loading hoppers for 14 hours, then de-pulped and placed in traditional open fermentation tanks for another 10 hours before being washed and dried for 8-12 days. The coffee offers flavor notes of molasses, orange zest, and cacao with zesty citric acidity and mellow candy-like sweetness, finished with dark chocolatey notes. Roasted for espresso but suitable for all brew methods.
Named after the ancient Roman name for Lisbon, Olisipo Coffee Roasters was founded by Antony Watson and Sofia Gonçalves with a mission to honor their city's history of exploration. They see themselves as modern-day navigators, exploring the world to source unique and high-quality beans from small, independent producers. Their roasting style is dedicated to showcasing the stories and distinct flavors of these origins.
