Coffee Origins
A world famous farm, for good reason, Las Margaritas has produced some of the best Columbian coffees for nearly two decades. The names of competitors who have used their coffees on the national and world stage reads like a who’s who of coffee celebs, notably Lex Wenneker, Lance Hendrik, Andrea Allen and as far back as Charles Babinski. Their coffee has been featured on both the World Barista Championship finals stage and The World Brewers Cup stage.
They employ some of the most highly skilled agronomists to care for their crops and processing and have dedicated research facilities pushing the boundaries of processing and varietal research, not just in Columbia, but globally.
A classic honey process, this coffee is the perfect balance of sweetness and character from its fermentation, with clean and delicate varietal characteristics preserved by the honey process. Waves of sweet cherry give way to sweet red apple, with the delicate florality of pink rose lingering through the aftertaste of this coffee. This coffee is a testament to good farming and producing practices, highlighting the sweetness of the bourbon varietal with expert processing by the team on Las Margaritas, showing their rock solid fundamentals and displaying their processing skills beyond just experimental coffees and advanced fermentation techniques. This red bourbon is a classic that will stand the test of time, standing as a testament to the fact that with care and attention to detail, what appears simple on the surface can be elevated far beyond expectation.

FAQs
Single origins: Our roast style and green coffee preference suits both filter and espresso very well.
Each coffee with present different characteristics you may prefer through a specific brew method.
For example Dario loves washed Kenyan’s through the AeroPress, but they taste great as espresso and through the V60.
Blends: Designed with espresso in mind but Dreamer tastes great in the plunger. It’s all down to personal preference!
