Colombia Claudia Colmenares Specialty Blend

Colombia Claudia Colmenares Specialty Blend

Specialty coffees from Colombian producer Claudia Colmenares are exceptional microlots, prized by independent coffee roasters around the world for their clean, complex sensory profiles. Her beans, grown in areas including the Cudinamarca region, feature in offerings from prestigious roasters as both single origins and components of carefully selected specialty blends.

Two of this producer’s most popular coffees on the market are: Geisha Long-Washed: Exceptional and refined, its extended washing process gives it an extraordinarily delicate, almost tea-like character. The flavor profile is dominated by notes of jasmine, apricot preserves, and white tea, and
Castillo / Rume Sudan: A complex lot comprising the Castillo and endemic Rume Sudan varieties. It is characterized by excellent balance and deep flavor.

The sensory profile of specialty coffees from the Cundinamarca region is considered one of the most elegant and balanced in all of Colombia. Unique microclimatic conditions—the region’s proximity to the capital, Bogotá, large daily temperature swings in the Eastern Cordillera mountain range, and rich volcanic soils—allow the beans to mature more slowly. This results in high natural sweetness and exceptionally clean, varied acidity.
