Colombia - El Triunfo #1

Background

We are really thrilled to be able to share this wonderful coffee with you. Oliver Cortes is a second-generation coffee producer and owner of El Triunfo, which is located in Huila, Colombia and has been established over 20 years ago. What really caught our attention was the varietal that Oliver offered: San Bernando. This is an uncommon varietal to grow in Colombia and it is a natural mutation from the Typica lineage. We found this coffee really complex with a balancing sweetness like chocolate to round it off. The acidity is really sweet and ripe, like sweet plums and some hints of red berries and apple coming through as it cools. This is the first time that we have been able to purchase this rare varietal and it is really versatile as a coffee. As a daily driver, the coffee’s sweetness is welcoming. As a coffee to indulge in, its distinctive flavour and acidity is what we love.
