Mesa De Los Santos, Finca El Roble, Colombia

This coffee begins with a sweet but dry aroma with notes of cocoa, hazelnut and dried cherries. The dryness carries over into the acidity and is perfectly balanced by it's sweetness and creamy body. This coffee offers a big note of cocoa and hazelnut with a little bit of mellow citrus around the edges. It has a long, pleasant, coating finish without being overwhelming.
This Source Direct coffee comes to us from Finca El Roble and is grown by the one and only Oswaldo Acevedo, where our beloved Don Telmo Reserve is also produced. Mesa De Los Santos grows at an elevation of 5,000-5,200 feet and is a mixture of bourbon, caturra and typica varieties. It is organic and Rain Forest Alliance certified. Best of all, this is a Source Direct coffee for us which means that we have the pleasure of dealing with Oswaldo directly to ensure that his needs are met and that we keep getting great coffee every year!
This is a balanced coffee that just about anyone would love. It is really great if you love coffee that is really big in the cup and for that reason you may like to brew it in a french press or aeropress!
