Colombia Santa Maria is a light roast coffee from the Huila region, grown at elevations between 1500-1800 meters. This fully washed coffee features Caturra and Castillo varieties, harvested June through August and dried using a mechanical dryer. The coffee offers bright citrus flavors with mellow caramel and chocolate sweetness. Despite being one of the lightest roasts available, it delivers a fuller-bodied taste than expected. The beans are ethically sourced and roasted by Denim Coffee as part of a collaboration with artist NeonGlitch86.
Matt and Kristin Ramsay founded Denim Coffee in 2011, starting with a small studio space in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and selling at local farmers markets. Tony Diehl joined as co owner in 2016 as the operation expanded. The roastery is now headquartered in a 30,000 square foot facility on Siloam Road in Chambersburg, housed in a former ice factory and fallout shelter, where a 60 kilo IMF roaster installed in the fall of 2023 handles production. Seven coffee shop locations span Central Pennsylvania, from Carlisle and Mechanicsburg to Harrisburg and Lancaster. Denim won the inaugural Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry Small Business of the Year award and achieved 45 percent growth despite rising commodity costs.
