Coffee from Colombia

Colombian coffee has been among the top-selling coffees worldwide for years. This is largely due to its unique sensory characteristics, achieved through the diverse climatic conditions of its origin. Grown in the Andean and Cordillera mountain ranges, coffee cherries mature efficiently and can be harvested at different times of the year. Beans from this area allow for the preparation of coffee that is delicate, aromatic, and silky in taste.

What makes Colombian coffee stand out?

Colombian coffee is regularly available in the offerings of our roastery JAVA Coffee in Warsaw. In our online store, we offer a wide selection of specialty beans. Their quality is largely due to their place of origin. We offer beans classified as Competition Coffee, which are a special type of microlots grown under strictly controlled and often challenging conditions, available in limited quantities. Our coffees from this region stand out with their complex flavor and aroma, and the hidden notes undergo an impressive evolution during brewing.

Optimal growing conditions

Most coffee plantations in Colombia are located at altitudes between 1,400 and 1,900 meters above sea level, with average annual temperatures ranging from 17 to 24 degrees Celsius. These conditions ensure the proper development of coffee plants. The plantations are mostly scattered across the mountain slopes from south to north, where moderate rainfall and even sunlight create optimal conditions for coffee growth. Due to the favorable geographic location and appropriate microclimate, coffee beans in this area can be harvested for several months each year. The main harvests typically take place from March to June and from September to December. The fruits are usually hand-picked, followed by wet processing. In the later stages, the beans are sun-dried and then carefully sorted.

Specific aroma and taste

The flavor of Colombian coffees is very balanced, combining purity and delicacy. Their sensory profile is very distinctive yet perfectly balanced, characterized by an optimal proportion of fruity acidity, sweetness, and bitterness. The most prominent notes in coffee from this region are nuts and chocolate, often combined with subtle hints of caramel or citrus fruits. Such a delicate yet rich flavor is perfect for brewing coffee using pour-over methods. The aroma released during the brewing of freshly roasted beans immediately fills the room, providing a unique sensory experience.

 

 

Which Colombian coffee beans are the best?

Colombian coffee beans can be an exceptionally exclusive product, ideal for discerning coffee enthusiasts. In our JAVA Coffee Roasters online store, we currently offer top-quality Colombian beans from the extraordinary farmer Eduardo Rojas from the La Loma farm, which have been designated as Competition Coffee. Their aromatic profile combines notes of blueberry, papaya, orange, and dates. Colombia Eduardo Rojas coffee can be successfully brewed using various methods, including V60, Kalita, cold brew, French press, clever dripper, and using an Aeropress or Chemex.

Eduardo Rojas

Colombia Eduardo Rojas beans are grown with meticulous attention to detail. The plantation is located in Oporapa, in the Huila department of southwestern Colombia. When the coffee reaches maturity, it is hand-picked at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level. Competition Coffee beans are often processed using experimental methods, resulting in their complex flavor. Eduardo Rojas is the owner of the La Loma farm, which he financed himself. He currently owns several hectares of plantations and personally oversees all the processes and stages of cultivation. The high quality of this coffee stems from the proper approach to agronomy, ensuring that the coffee plants always grow in the most fertile soils.

Columbia Cauca

In our online store, we also offer decaffeinated coffee from the Cauca region of Colombia, which is perfect for espresso and pour-over methods, as we roast it in two ways - for filter and espresso. Its beans are a carefully selected blend of Arabica, sourced from several small producers, and grown at altitudes ranging from 1,600 to 1,820 meters above sea level. This coffee is decaffeinated using the natural Sugarcane E.A. process, without the use of any chemicals. Its unique sensory profile combines notes of jasmine, pomegranate, and strawberry. The Colombia Cauca coffee roasted for espresso can be successfully brewed in an automatic, pressure, or portafilter espresso machine, as well as using a moka pot, cezve, or French press, while the light roast beans are excellent for brewing with a drip, Chemex, or Aeropress.
