Las Palmas 'Espresso' – Colombia

For 10 years, Las Palmas and its extended farming community have been at the cornerstone of sourcing program. Led by the inimitable Chalo Fernandez, whose passion is matched only by five generations of farming heritage, his coffees have earned a devoted following for their sweetness and the comforting familiarity they bring every harvest.

This rich and super sweet espresso roast is the perfect start to our direct trade milestone – a celebration of partnership, community and coffee that continues to bring people together.

Produced by Chalo Fernandez, Las Palmas 'Espresso' represents a focused selection from Colombia, a country renowned for its diverse microclimates and consistent production standards. This specific lot is brought to market by Pilot Coffee Roasters, who have curated the profile to suit espresso preparation. While Colombian coffees are often celebrated for their balanced acidity and caramel sweetness, the specific character of any single-origin offering is best explored by referencing the flavor wheel to identify the nuanced notes present in the cup.

In the broader context of specialty coffee, espresso-focused roasts are typically developed to highlight body and sweetness, ensuring the coffee performs well under pressure. By working directly with producers like Fernandez, roasters can emphasize the unique terroir of the region. Whether enjoyed as a straight shot or integrated into milk-based drinks, this selection offers a clear expression of the work being done at the Las Palmas farm.
