From the roaster
The Vigilante Coffee Company is proud to partner with the University of Maryland Alumni Association to bring you this special collaborative coffee. The UMD Alumni Coffee is a directly sourced single origin Colombian coffee, offering roasty tones of chocolate, caramel, toastiness, and a rich deep body!
This coffee is roasted steps away from the UMD campus at our Hyattsville Roastery. The Alumni leadership team came to our Coffee Lab and cupped their way through our seasonal coffee offerings and selected this community grown Colombian coffee.
$1 from every bag sold goes directly to alumni programs and scholarships, brewing up opportunities for Terps across generations.

Context
This washed Colombian coffee from Vigilante Coffee showcases the balanced, approachable profile typical of washed-process coffees. The roaster identifies chocolate, caramel, and toastiness as the defining notes—a flavor combination that emphasizes body and sweetness over the brighter acidity and fruit-forward characteristics often found in natural-processed alternatives.
Colombia, particularly the Huila region, has long been celebrated for producing coffees with clean, well-defined flavors. This UMD Alumni lot delivers the kind of comforting, dessert-like character that makes washed Colombian coffees reliable choices for those seeking consistency and warmth in the cup. Vigilante Coffee has crafted a roast profile that brings forward the inherent sweetness of the bean, ideal for exploring how origin and process shape a coffee's sensory profile.
