Where Does Colombia Cauca Coffee Come From?

Cauca is a region in southwestern Colombia, where the climate and soil are perfect for growing coffee. The high mountains and volcanic soil make this place ideal for coffee plants.

The beans grow slowly at 1,400–2,000 meters above sea level, giving them lots of time to develop rich, unique flavors.

What Does Colombia Cauca Coffee Taste Like?

Common tasting notes include:

• Brown sugar

• Red apple

• Stone fruit (like plum or peach)

• Light citrus

• Subtle floral hints

Our Colombia Cauca coffee is bright and fresh, with citrusy notes that remind you of lemons or grapefruit. As you sip, you’ll also taste a sweet toffee flavor that gives the coffee a smooth finish.

The best part is that it’s not too bitter or heavy, making it a perfect cup to wake you up in the morning or keep you going in the afternoon.

The Washed Process: What’s That?

The way coffee beans are processed affects their taste. For Colombia Cauca, the beans are washed, which means the outer fruit is removed before the beans are dried.

This process helps keep the coffee’s flavor clean and bright. The washed method brings out the citrusy taste and smooth finish you’ll love in every cup.

Best Ways to Brew Colombia Cauca Coffee

Try Colombia Cauca as a Pour-Over

To get the best taste from Colombia Cauca, try brewing it with one of these methods:

• Pour Over:

  • Use a medium grind size (like sea salt).

  • Add 20g of coffee to 320g of water.

  • Slowly pour the hot water in a circular motion over the coffee grounds.

  • This method brings out the coffee’s citrusy brightness.

• Aeropress:

  • Use a medium-fine grind (like table salt).

  • Add 20g of coffee to 240g of water.

  • Stir, let it steep for 1 minute, then press the coffee through.

  • The Aeropress makes the coffee smooth and sweet with a rich flavor.

Why Is Single-Origin Coffee Special?

Single-origin coffee means the beans come from one specific place — in this case, the Cauca region. This gives the coffee a unique taste that’s tied to that location. Single-origin coffees are a great way to explore the flavors of different regions and discover how the soil, climate, and growing conditions affect the coffee’s taste.

If you like to try different kinds of coffee, single-origin is the way to go.
