Colombia Las Mercedes

This sweet, structured coffee comes from the farm of Elcias Rodriguez, in the Huila growing region of Colombia. When brewed, this cup reminds us of milk chocolate covered raisins, making this one of our favorite every-day coffees. It's got lots of red grape sweetness, with just a hint of acidity, balanced with creamy chocolate undertones. This is a versatile, pleasing cup, and we love it in a French press, drip, or as espresso.

 

We roast and ship on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. All orders placed before 10AM ship that day.

Sourced from the renowned Colombia · Huila region, this lot is produced by Elcias Rodriguez and brought to market by Case Coffee Roasters. The profile of this coffee centers on a decadent combination of milk chocolate covered raisins, red grape, and creamy chocolate. When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between deep cocoa undertones and the bright, vinous acidity frequently found in high-quality Colombian harvests.

Coffees from Huila are widely celebrated for their consistent balance and complex sweetness. While specific sensory experiences vary by roast profile and brewing method, the presence of dark fruit and chocolate notes often suggests a well-developed roast that highlights the inherent sugars of the bean. This particular selection offers a classic, comforting cup that showcases the meticulous cultivation practices maintained by producers in this high-elevation landscape.
