Colombia Community is a rotating selection of coffee harvests from our partner communities. It is a great way to tour Colombian coffee throughout the year, and we specifically source the lots for their high quality and balanced tasting notes. Each bag contains a QR code for you to scan and learn more about the specific lot that is in the bag. Staples for this coffee include familiar communities like Monserrate.

Colombia is one of coffees most dynamic and diverse origins and it's also home to some of our longest standing relationships. Given the diversity of coffee coming out of Colombia and the many blend components and single-origin coffees we bring in from there, we consider these relationships part of the backbone of our company. Colombia Community is a celebration of that fact, and a delicious way to experience the excellence of Colombian coffee year round.

The Colombia Community, sourced by Kaldi's Coffee Roasting Co., represents the distinct profile of the Monserrate region. Located within the broader Colombia · Monserrate landscape, this coffee is prepared using the washed process, a method typically employed to highlight a clean cup profile and vibrant acidity. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers often achieve a clarity that allows the inherent characteristics of the bean to shine through.

In the cup, this selection presents a balanced interplay of apple, orange, and chocolate notes. These descriptors align with the fruit and cocoa categories found on the flavor wheel, offering a classic profile that many enthusiasts associate with high-quality Colombian harvests. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their bright, crisp acidity, the addition of chocolate undertones provides a grounding sweetness, making this a versatile option for various brewing methods.
