Colombia Planadas

LIGHT/MEDIUM ROAST - 12 OUNCE WHOLE BEAN Flavor notes of Crisp Gala Apple, mild citrus, and a milk chocolatey finish

There’s a brightness in the air of Tolima’s highland plains, where clouds drift low across mountain ridges and sunlight slips gently through the mist. It is here that Colombia Planadas takes root, in living volcanic soil that lends depth, clarity, and a quiet elegance to every bean. Farmers here honor the land with regenerative practices, no chemicals, no synthetic fertilizers, no pesticides, and no tilling of the earth. Instead, the soil is left alive, a thriving ecosystem that nurtures each coffee shrub naturally, allowing sweetness and vibrancy to develop long before harvest.

Through the precision of our proprietary Culinary Roast™, Planadas opens like the first bite of fruit on a summer morning. Crisp Gala apple greets the palate, followed by a lift of citrus that shimmers with brightness. The cup settles gracefully into the silky comfort of milk chocolate, a lingering sweetness that feels both familiar and indulgent, like the last bite of a favorite dessert.

Colombia Planadas is 100% Regenerative Organic Certified, USDA Organic Certified, and Fair Trade Certified as well as Kosher.

Sourced from the Tolima region, this Colombia Planadas offering from Heirloom Coffee Roasters highlights the distinct profile often associated with this high-potential growing area. Coffees from Tolima are frequently recognized for their balanced acidity and clean, approachable sweetness, which provides a versatile foundation for various brewing methods. In this specific lot, the roaster identifies a profile defined by crisp Gala apple and mild citrus, rounded out by a smooth milk chocolatey finish.

When evaluating these characteristics, it can be helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the bright fruit acidity and the deeper, cocoa-toned base notes. While general Colombian profiles often lean toward a classic, nutty, or caramel-forward sweetness, the inclusion of crisp apple and citrus notes here suggests a vibrant, refreshing cup that remains grounded by its chocolatey conclusion. This selection serves as a clear example of the nuanced, balanced character that defines contemporary Colombian specialty coffee.
