Colombia El Tambo – Single Origin Specialty Arabica

Discover the essence of Colombia's legendary Coffee Axis with our exquisite El Tambo from the skilled hands of Sandra Vallejo. Nestled in the verdant hills of Santuario, Risaralda—a department in the heart of Colombia's Eje Cafetero, where the Andean Cordillera Central meets lush valleys—this coffee embodies the region's timeless dedication to sustainable, small-scale farming. Sandra, a proud member of a tight-knit association of just 40 active small producers, tends her finca with generations of expertise, ensuring every cherry is nurtured amid misty mornings and nutrient-rich volcanic soils at elevations soaring between 1850 and 1950 meters above sea level.
The Castillo varietal, a resilient Colombian hybrid celebrated for its disease resistance and vibrant cup potential, thrives here under Sandra's care. After meticulous hand-picking, the beans undergo a traditional washed process: fermented in water tanks to coax out clarity and brightness, then sun-dried on raised beds for even maturation. The result? A specialty-grade coffee scoring an impressive 85.75 on the SCA scale—proof of its exceptional balance and nuance.
In the cup, prepare for a symphony of indulgence: velvety caramel swirls with creamy white chocolate, lifted by delicate floral whispers of jasmine and a satisfying nutty undertone reminiscent of toasted hazelnut. This medium-bodied brew shines with a clean, lingering finish, making it the perfect everyday luxury for pour-over or AeroPress enthusiasts.
