Colombia - Side B - Single Origin Espresso

Sweet, aromatic and medium bodied, this lot carries tasting notes of chocolate biscuit, stone fruit, panela and honey. Produced by Juan Camilo Londoño in Apia, Risaralda, this micro-lot reflects a young grower carrying forward his family's coffee legacy.

Camilo is a passionate and visionary young man who took on the challenge of continuing the family legacy. Since taking over management of the farm, he has blended traditional practices with innovative techniques to lift cup quality. He grows the Castillo variety at 1,820 metres above sea level, an altitude that gives the bean its distinctive character. Across his 16,000 trees in production, Camilo practices homogeneous harvesting, picking only fruit at peak ripeness to keep the lot consistent.

Los Angeles is processed using the Honey method, in which the mucilage, the sticky, sweet layer surrounding the coffee seed, is left on the bean through drying. The cherries undergo 120 hours of fermentation before a combination of solar and mechanical drying. This directly shapes the cup, producing something sweeter and fruitier while keeping its brightness.

We sourced this coffee through Harvest Town Coffee, founded by Juliana Becerra and David Mafla, two Colombians who grew up in Apia and now call Australia home. Harvest town imports coffee directly from farmers in Colombia, mainly from the Risaralda region, connecting their roots and coffee knowledge with roasters who value a great cup.
