Abstract

Hover over each feature to learn more.

This is an exceptional coffee we purchased from the Cup of Excellence auction. Due to the tireless work of Duberney and the team at Finca Montreal, they’ve been in the national ranking eleven times, this year taking the number one spot. We are excited to feature this winning COE lot; it will be evident why this took the coveted spot after brewing.

Origin

Colombia

Colombia uniquely offers a diverse array of coffee varieties and processing methods. Known for innovation and resilience, Colombia's coffee history dates back to the early 19th century, with smallholder farmers being key contributors. Despite challenges like weather and conflict, Colombia consistently produces high-quality specialty coffee. For over a decade years, we've partnered with both large and small-scale producers from all five main growing zones, fostering close relationships and friendships.

Elevation

1800 MASL

Elevation influences coffee cultivation, impacting flavor and quality. Higher elevations offer cooler temperatures, slowing the growth of coffee cherries, allowing more time for complex sugar and flavor development. This results in coffee with brighter acidity and a nuanced flavor profile. Additionally, cooler conditions at high altitudes reduce pests and diseases, making these coffees highly prized for their superior quality and distinct taste.

Variety

Gesha

Known for it's delicate, tea-like texture and pungent florals, Gesha is the most sought after variety in the world. After winning the Best of Panama this variety has skyrocketed in fame, going on to dominate the sphere of high-end specialty coffee.

Harvest

Colombia

Colombia has a unique harvest schedule, thanks to the varied topography and proximity to the equator. Between those two variables, Colombia harvests nearly year round across the five main coffee growing regions. Each region has fairly reliable harvest times that conveniently stagger, providing fresh crop coffee all year round.

Process

Drying

Roasting

Diedrich CR-35

Prior to production, each roast goes through a rigorous dial-in process, where we fine-tune our temperature curves. We roast to tight tolerances, with no more than 1° deviation from target temperatures, ensuring quality and consistency in each batch.

Agtron

#72 Moderate

Referring to medium as moderate is an intentional choice to highlight the roasting process, which is also referred to as development. Coffees within the moderate range exhibit notes in line with terroir, with a hint of sugar-browning. These characteristics are backed by a medium to high perceived acidity with a balanced tactile and sweetness, and they adapt easily from espresso to filter preparation.

Inventory

0 LBS

When producing and roasting high-end specialty coffee, there are times that such a small lot of a high caliber coffee is produced, that we choose to pack it within boxes and ship it via airfreight. We tend to sell these ultra-small lots for pre-order, so that we can control sales and roasting of these coffees. Typically, these are Geshas, auction lots, or something else high-end and exclusive.

Extraction

Filter

Filter brewing results in sippable black coffee. This could be a drip machine or a hand-brewed pour-over. Conical brewers highlight acidity and clarity, flat brewers highlight sweetness and balance, and immersion brewers highlight texture and aroma (this method handles cream and sugar best). We recommend methods highlighting origin, processing, or variety to share a fantastic cup of coffee.

T h e S t o r y

Our involvement within the Cup of Excellence has always been both producer-focused and quality-driven. Over the years, we have seen multiple winning lots we've purchased achieve or surpass a quality usually reserved for the more celebrity hyper-specialty coffee producers.
