Chocolaty and Nutty, hence the name - with a slight hint of nectarine, light citrus acidity, medium to full body & a lovely lingering caramel finish.
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.
