Colombia Medium Roast Coffee

Medellin Excelso is an excellent example of the exquisite, full-bodied coffee that Colombia is known for, and testament to the county's reputation as one of the finest exporters of coffee in the world. Made from beans that have been cultivated in the rich, volcanic soil of Central Cordillera, Medellin Excelso produces a heavy body when roasted, resulting in a delicious nutty flavour with just the right amount of acidity. This variety also offers a pleasing aroma, typical of many Colombian coffee types. The Central Cordillera region is the highest of the three branches of the Colombian Andes, meaning that the beans grown here benefit from high, mountainous altitudes and an ideal climate that is temperate and moist. Named after the second-largest city in Colombia, where the exportation of coffee played a key role in its growth throughout the 20th century, Medellin Excelso is mild and smooth, with a balanced taste that is best enjoyed from a cafetiere.
