Choco N°2

Colombian coffee with indulgent notes

Choco N°2 Colombian Coffee is an indulgent specialty coffee, reliable and versatile, with notes of chocolate, hazelnut, almond, and caramel. It makes a clean, rounded cup that’s easy to enjoy every day.

From Cauca, a region of volcanic highlands known for the quality of its coffees, Choco N°2 embodies a generous, precise, and consistent Colombian profile.

Colombian coffee made for everyday enjoyment

Choco N°2 isn’t the most showy coffee in the catalog. It’s the most consistent, the easiest to love, and one of the easiest to make part of your routine.

It sits in the middle of the spectrum: less delicate than a very floral coffee, less intense than a bolder profile. It’s a stable, satisfying coffee that’s easy to recommend.

Flavor profile

Choco N°2 is built around four notes that come together in a cohesive, indulgent, immediately recognizable profile.

This profile makes Choco N°2 a very cohesive coffee. Each note flows into the next without any abrupt shifts or rough edges.

Why this Colombian coffee is so reliable

Choco N°2 is a blend from Cauca producers. This approach helps maintain a stable flavor profile from one order to the next.

While a micro-lot can vary more depending on the harvest, this kind of blend makes it possible to get a consistent, well-calibrated, reproducible cup.

Washed processing for flavor clarity

Washed processing removes the fruit from the coffee cherry before drying. The bean therefore doesn’t ferment with its sugars, resulting in a cleaner, more defined cup.

With a coffee from Cauca, this process brings out the hazelnut notes, along with chocolate and caramel, with precision. The result is cleaner than a natural coffee, with a very clear flavor profile.

Origin: Cauca, Colombia

Cauca is one of Colombia’s most renowned regions for specialty coffee. Its elevation, volcanic soils, and harvest schedule help explain the quality of Choco N°2.

This combination produces denser beans, more concentrated flavors, and a steadier supply throughout the year.

Espresso or pour-over: a highly versatile coffee

Choco N°2 is one of the most versatile coffees in the catalog. Its clean flavor profile makes it work well as both espresso and pour-over.

As espresso, the coffee gains body. As filter coffee, it becomes lighter and more distinct while retaining its indulgent character.

An approachable specialty coffee

Choco N°2 is the most affordable coffee in the Coffee Lab catalog, with no compromise on the quality in the cup.

Its positioning is based on a well-crafted blend, a reliable origin, and a roast developed for everyday enjoyment. It’s an easy coffee to recommend to anyone looking for something delicious, consistent, and indulgent.

Crossing the Atlantic by sailboat

Like the other coffees in the sailboat range, Choco N°2 crosses the Atlantic without a combustion engine. This transport reflects an approach that brings quality, producer compensation, and greater responsibility into alignment.

Storage tips

To preserve the hazelnut, chocolate, and caramel notes, protect the coffee from air, light, and moisture.

Choco N°2 is at its peak during the first six weeks after roasting. After that, the caramel gradually fades and bitterness may become a little more prominent.

This coffee is for you if

• You’re looking for an everyday coffee with a reliable, immediately appealing profile.
• You use an automatic machine or a manual espresso machine.
• You want good value in specialty coffee.
• You enjoy notes of hazelnut, almond, chocolate, and caramel.
• You often drink the same coffee and want a consistent profile.

Tasting verdict

Choco N°2 is the quintessential everyday coffee. Hazelnut comes through right away, chocolate gives the cup its structure, and caramel gently lingers through the tasting.

Washed processing gives it a clean flavor profile that makes it very easy to extract well. It’s a comforting, versatile coffee that’s always enjoyable, even without fine-tuned settings.
