This coffee is sourced from the Huila region of Colombia, produced by Don Pablo at 1600 meters altitude. It features the Castillo, Colombia, and Cenicafé 1 varieties, all 100% Arabica. The coffee is washed processed and light roasted. The cup profile offers notes of brown sugar, plum, and caramel, creating a mild filter coffee experience. The Huila region received designation of origin status in 2013, recognizing its ideal growing conditions with fertile soils and favorable geography that produce some of the country's highest quality coffees.
Maximilian Kranz and Dominik Münstermann founded Bohnenkartell in Essen, building a cafe and roastery whose playful name, meaning "Bean Cartel," belies a serious commitment to specialty coffee. All green coffees meet the SCA Specialty Coffee standard of 80 points or above, and each batch is individually roasted on a drum roaster to preserve the unique aromas and characteristics of its origin. Bohnenkartell also offers SCA certified barista courses, cementing their role as both a quality focused roastery and an educational resource in the Ruhr Valley's specialty coffee scene.
