Colombie Excelso

Colombie Excelso is a well-balanced single-origin Colombian coffee from our Humaniterra Collection, grown high in the Colombian massif. Freshly roasted on demand in our Montréal facility using our signature TAG method, it pairs bright, citrusy notes with the depth of dark chocolate over a smooth, rounded body. It is an approachable, beautifully balanced cup, at its best brewed as filter or drip.

Tasting Notes

Colombie Excelso is prized for its balance. Bright citrus notes lift the cup, while a rich seam of dark chocolate gives it depth and a smooth, rounded body. Clean and easy to enjoy, it is a versatile Colombian coffee that shows its best in a careful filter brew. The profile described here is for our TAG roast.

Origin

Colombie Excelso comes from a cooperative of 141 small producers in the Colombian massif, a region of exceptional environmental importance. Each grower tends no more than three hectares of coffee, most of it worked by their own families. They farm using sustainable practices that protect the region's natural resources – its flora, its fauna, and the land itself – the kind of careful stewardship our Humaniterra Collection was created to support.

Roast

TAG (Torrefazione Artigianale Granito) is our suggested roast for single-origins. The TAG method drives the complete caramelization of the bean's natural sugars, drawing out the full depth of the coffee. The result is a rich, complex cup built on more than four decades of green-bean selection, roasting, and cupping expertise.

Brewing

For filter or drip coffee, use about 1 tbsp (8 g) of coffee per 8.5 oz (250 ml) of fresh water.
