Colombian Volcan Galeras Supremo
When someone is looking for “strong coffee” often it’s the flavour profile of a good Colombian like this they are looking for. Excellent all-round coffee.
Flavours:
- Typical “strong” espresso Columbian traits, but not too overpowering.
- Bold finishes with subtle choc in milk drinks.
- Stands-up well in milk based drinks.
Origin:
Galeras is an Andean stratovolcano in the Colombian department of Nariño. Narino is one of the highest-elevation areas for Colombian coffee.
Coffee in Colombia is handpicked from coffee trees and brought to wet mill processing stations. It is at these stations that coffees are typically sorted to determine their grade. Once all the ‘Supremo’ graded coffee is fully sorted, it then goes through a vigorous de-pulping machine to remove the outer layers of the coffee cherry.
After undergoing this process, Colombian Supremo Coffee is fermented to enhance its distinct characteristics. Twenty-four hours later, the coffee beans are washed with water to remove any impurities. This critical step is what sets apart authentic Colombian Supremo Coffee from other nationalities of coffee, and even Colombia ‘Excelso’ coffee.
Once washed, the Colombian Supremo Coffee beans are left under the sun until they are completely dry. During nights or rainy days, the beans are covered to ensure that they retain their characteristic aroma and taste. Through delicate processes and meticulous attention to detail, the seeds and trees once brought to Colombia have developed into producing the excellent coffee now known as Colombian Supremo Coffee.
