About the region
The excellent Medellin Excelso used in our Colombian Supremo is grown in rich volcanic soil for a smooth, medium strength coffee that reveals lovely, well balanced and nutty flavours and plenty of heavy body, making it equally ideal for filter coffees and cafetieres.
Coffee was likely first introduced to Colombia in 1723, slowly spreading as a commercial crop to various regions of the country and becoming a significant product for the country by the end of the 19th century. By 1912, coffee accounted for around 50% of Colombia’s total exports.
Colombian Supremo represents the largest and most prized beans in Colombia’s coffee grading system, with size being the primary criterion rather than geographic origin or processing method. Supremo beans must pass through a screen size 17 or larger, meaning each bean measures at least 6.75 millimeters, which ensures more even roasting and a cleaner cup. While Supremo and Excelso are similar in quality, Supremo is distinguished by its larger bean size.
