This espresso blend from Nariño, Colombia features two varieties: Colombia and Caturra. Grown at altitudes between 1,850 and 2,000 meters in the southwestern province bordering Ecuador, known for active volcanoes and steep terrain. The coffee undergoes a fully washed process. Flavor notes include chocolate, apple, and tangerine, with a full, creamy body and cocoa-rich aroma that shines through beautifully in espresso.
Milly, a Colombian from a generation of coffee growers, founded Colombia Coffee Roasters in Oxford. The company sources 100 percent arabica from her family farm and neighboring high altitude farms in Colombia, maintaining direct relationships that guarantee both quality and fair conditions. Roasting happens in house on a Giesen roaster at their facility in Wheatley, just outside Oxford. The Covered Market location was voted Best Cafe in Oxford in 2022 by the Oxford Mail, and a second cafe in Summertown took second place in the same awards. The approach spans the full tree to cup chain: sourcing, roasting, and brewing, with multiple brew methods available in the cafes including syphon, V60, Chemex, and AeroPress.
