This coffee is from the Galeras region in Nariño, Colombia, grown at elevations of 1,600-2,100 meters above sea level near the Galeras Volcano. It is a washed coffee from smallholder farmers, many cultivating just a single hectare, who carefully harvest ripe cherries followed by 20-25 hour fermentation. The cherries are dried in parabolic dryers with controlled airflow and temperature. The coffee features vanilla, smoked toffee, and dark chocolate notes. Roasted to a dark medium level, it offers layers of toffee and vanilla paired with dark chocolate and black fruit depth, creating a sweet, rounded, and comforting cup.

Steel Oak Coffee was founded in 2016 by Carl and Michele Dupper in Ormond Beach, Florida, with a focus on small batch specialty grade coffee. The roastery produces clean, natural flavors without additives, letting the bean speak for itself across a rotating selection of origins from Ethiopia, Kenya, Nicaragua, Brazil, Guatemala, and Colombia. Steel Oak sources ethically and seasonally, with full traceability that allows the Duppers to share the producer stories and farming practices behind every bag. Visitors to the roastery can watch the process firsthand, experiencing a working small batch operation up close.
