Finca Tamana Variedad Colombia

A comforting and sweet coffee with flavours of caramel, chocolate and red fruits.

Tim Wendelboe, the Oslo-based roaster long associated with precision sourcing and light, expressive roast profiles, offers this lot from Finca Tamana as a showcase of Colombia's deep specialty coffee culture. The Variedad Colombia cultivar — a hybrid developed within the country's own research programs — was bred primarily for disease resistance but has increasingly earned recognition for its cup quality, often delivering the kind of chocolatey body and red-fruit brightness suggested in the roaster's notes of caramel, chocolate, and red fruits.

Coffees from Colombian smallholder farms like Finca Tamana tend to benefit from the country's high-altitude growing conditions and tradition of careful cherry selection. Whether those qualities read as polished sweetness or livelier fruit on the flavor wheel can shift with roast approach and brew method — making this an interesting example for exploring how varietal character and roaster philosophy interact.
