Colombia La Lomita Single Origin Espresso

Our first single origin espresso release of 2023 comes from Hermel Lasso's La Lomita farm in Buesaco, high in the Andes of southern Colombia. The La Lomita single origin espresso is reminiscent of fruit punch with its bounty of ripe stone fruit balanced out by a soft citrus. Its intensity lends itself to being grown at a higher elevation, and helps with clarity in the cup. This single origin espresso presents a fruity alternative to our Black Cat Classic, with notes of ripe stone fruit balanced out by soft citrus. It can be enjoyed with or without milk and is a refreshing summer take on a classic espresso shot.
