Our Dark Colombian is a slightly stronger coffee than our Colombian Med, which makes it more versatile as it is suitable for cafetiere use, filter coffees & intense espressos. Again using Medellin Excelso, from Colombia's Cordillera Central in the Andes, this excellent coffee really does display some of the finer qualities of the renowned Colombian coffee bean: a rich aroma, luxurious depth & sweet flavours of fruit & chocolate. These Colombian beans benefit from being grown in an area that is known as the 'tierra templada', the Colombian term for the climatic zone located between 900 & 1, 980 meters that provides ideal growing conditions. The conditions in the tierra templada, or 'temperate land' result in a robust bean that gives a full-bodied coffee & an intense espresso, topped off with a hint of sharp acidity.
