One of the owners here at Riley, Damon, visited a bunch of coffee farms in Colombia so coffee from this region holds a special place here.
Over a few days, Damon went from farm to farm, meeting the owners, farmers, and workers, as well as tasting a lot of coffee.
Some lasting impressions of Colombia – the people and the place are vibrant…vibe, colour, history. And the coffee business is a hard one – a lot of work and hands go into the process from seed to bean.
The single origin coffee for this month is from the Medellin region (also made famous by Pablo Escobar if you’re a narcos fan).
The base is sweet with notes of chocolate and subtle caramel, balanced by stone fruit juiciness.
