Description

Colombia is the second largest exporter of coffee in the world and is well known for the quality of its beans. This particular coffee is organic and fair trade and has been given 'Excelso' class. 'Exelcso' class relates to the size of the beans and means that the beans are of a consistent size and large, but not quite as large as the 'Supremo' grade. Colombian coffee makes a great all rounder and we take this to a medium roast level so it can be easily brewed in any brewing method. It is balanced with loads of chocolate, nuts and toffee and a strong body.
