Women of Coffee: Colombia

This limited edition series highlights women coffee farmers from around the world and rotates seasonally. We feature different geographies, seasonally, so you can enjoy coffees from a variety of regions. Having access to specialty coffee buyers like Sightglass ensures that producers are paid premiums for their outstanding quality. 

Our new release comes from Siruma Coffee - Valentina Duque’s export organization that specializes in strengthening connections between under-represented Colombian producers and associations with specialty coffee clients. 

Focusing on Tolima, Cauca, and Caldas, Valentina’s team scores lots into 1 of 6 quality levels. Sightglass is proud to feature this top-scoring lot from a group of amazing women producers. This coffee beautifully balances sweetness and acidity and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Flavor notes include Toffee, Concord Grape and Nougat.

A portion of proceeds from this special coffee will be donated to La Cocina, a San Francisco-based non-profit business incubator supporting women, BIPOC, and immigrant food entrepreneurs.

The Women of Coffee: Colombia selection, roasted by Sightglass Coffee, highlights the collaborative efforts of the Siruma Coffee producer group. Sourced from Colombia, this lot showcases a distinct profile characterized by notes of toffee, Concord grape, and nougat. While individual lots vary based on processing methods and specific micro-climates, Colombian coffees are frequently celebrated for their balanced acidity and approachable sweetness.

When evaluating the nuances of a cup like this, enthusiasts often reference the flavor wheel to better identify the interplay between sugary, confection-like undertones and the bright, fruit-forward characteristics found in high-quality South American beans. By supporting initiatives like the Women of Coffee project, roasters and consumers alike contribute to the visibility of producers within the supply chain. This specific offering serves as a testament to the meticulous cultivation practices employed by the Siruma Coffee team, resulting in a refined and harmonious experience in the cup.
