Vertical Colombia La Union

Colombia is back as our washed Central American espresso which bridges the gap from our more basic to the complex espresso roasts.

The focus of our roastery is on working only with Specialty Coffee: That means top cup quality and clear aroma profiles, partnerships at eye level as well as socially, ecologically and economically sustainable practices and transparency along the value chain.

In order to highlight the great work done at origin, we roast these exceptional coffees in our signature clean and light roasting style.

We only process specialty coffee, i.e. green coffee from the top quality segment . This is characterized by clear aroma profiles, partnership-based trade, transparency and traceability as well as socially, ecologically and economically sustainable cultivation and processing.

So that the outstanding work of the producers is reflected in the cup, we roast the coffee with our clean and light roasting style, which extracts the maximum of aromas from the beans.
