From the Bucaramanaga region, our Colombian green beans produce a coffee with a clean, rich taste. The classic Central American coffee, Colombian has one of the most enticing aromas when freshly roasted. One of the most popular gourmet coffees, and very versatile for the roaster, as it makes an excellent light or dark (French roast) style of coffee.
We sell the Excelso grade of Colombian, this is a slightly smaller bean than Supremo, but offers all the flavor of Supremo at a better price (Excelso and Supremo beans usually are grown on the same tree, but then sorted by size). 2 pound bag.

Tasty
While I can't rate this a 5/5, I've been enjoying this coffee. I get a very strong acetic odor later in the roast, a clear sign of caramelization. Has been easy to roast pretty well for me.
One of my favorites.
I received this with my purchase of a Behmor. I've gotten so caught up in trying different types of coffee from so many different regions and process types, I underestimated this Colombian. I roasted it medium dark. 17% weight loss and 25% development finished right at the start of second crack. Taste some nice caramel tones, very smooth. Taste what most average coffee drinkers expect coffee to taste like. I personally enjoy a bit of a lighter roast at about 15% weight loss, but this I wanted to take a little farther which I'm glad I did. Liked it best as espresso and with my V60 with authentic Hario paper filters (believe it or not I can tell the difference).
coffee drinker
roast it..grind it..brew it..drink it..tastes like coffee eh?
Great cup of coffee.
Really enjoying roasting my own coffee and this one is a great deal.
Complex
Complex flavors of tobacco, chocolate and nuttiness. Just past medium roast works best. Tried roasting it dark, when the flavors get muted. An excellent bean overall.
