This is a stunning, high-scoring Colombian single origin coffee bean, produced in a small reserve called La Laguna Siberia Reserva in the North Eastern area of the Cauca Dept, Colombia, between the two municipalities Caldono Piendamó.

These coffee beans are grown at altitudes of 1300-1650m, the varietals are Colombia, Caturra & Typica, the processing method is washed & hand sorted, the Speciality Coffee Association score is 87.5, and the roast profile is dark.

How it Tastes

If you like a punchy yet tasty coffee with chocolate and nutty notes, you'll like this! There are also some sweet & citrus notes, reminiscent of the fruits grown among the coffee trees in this reserve, including Panela (cane sugar), Pineapples and Lemons.

A great bean for espresso, cafetiere, Aeropress & stovetop, but works equally well for pour over.

Finca La Laguna Reserva

This is a very small association of just 12 families who were previously operating independently, but who joined forces following the "strength in numbers" principle, making them less vulnerable to the unfair dealings that they felt they were often subjected to as a result of their former autonomy.

Once they created their alliance, they joined the Cencoic Co-Operative (Central Cooperativa Indígena del Cauca), a co-op of indigenous reserves in the Cauca region with nineteen groups totaling almost 2,800 smallholder families.

Not my favourite

I had trouble dialling this one in. Just not to my taste.

Bold and flavoursome- for me it works particularly well with a dash of cold milk. A good reason to get out of bed for

My Overall Winner!

I can't rave enough about Kev and Coffeeworks. There is just something fundamentally grounded and 'right' about the whole setup. The personality, the down-to-earth information, the amazing service, and above all the coffee! I've worked my way through most of Kev's coffees over the last 6 months to find one or two I can settle on for day-to-day espresso drinking, knowing they were about as good as it gets. Well, I now have my winners and Choc & Nut Columbia is one of them. Just chocolaty sublime deliciousness every time. Because I drink so much I blend it 50:50 with the Milk Chocolate & Caramel Peru but never feel short-changed in doing so. My other winner is the Cranberry & Pomegranate Kenya and although it's not specifically recommended for espresso drinking, believe me it should be, it's amazing!

Choco Nut or Choco Fruit and Nut?

This was really interesting! My friend's Beko Bean to Cup machine extracted as definite undertones of nuts, like hazelnut? Very easy drinking. My Bambino+ with SGPro (Grind 6, 17g 39g out) took quite different flavours out, choco fruit brightness, like a tangerine? I shifted to Grind 5, 17g and 36g out: the underlying fruit increased. I make 'milkies but this is another lovely straight expresso: I always try a wee slurp before adding the milk to make sure I haven't made a horlicks of the base expresso. We'd defo buy this again.
