Colombia Tolima – smooth and aromatic coffee with notes of citrus and caramel
Colombia Tolima 100% Arabica is an invitation to discover the richness of South American flavors. This exceptional coffee comes from the picturesque Tolima region – a place where green hills and mountain slopes are covered with plantations run by local farmers with great respect for nature. The beans mature at an altitude of 1200 to 2200 meters above sea level, allowing them to slowly develop full aroma and depth of flavor.
This is a coffee with a mild character, but with clearly marked acidity and a touch of citrus freshness. A blend of three varieties – Catura, Typica and Bourbon – gives it a unique harmony. Smoothness meets boldness here, and the creamy caramel aftertaste is broken by a light, tropical acidity. It’s a perfect coffee to enjoy in the morning or as a companion during an afternoon break. Its flavor profile is so universal that it will appeal to both lovers of classic coffee and seekers of nuanced notes.
