The remarkable climate and high elevations of Huila, Colombia, create ideal conditions for cultivating top-tier coffee, consistently producing some of the most vibrant and flavorful beans. Lake Effect Dark Colombia is a testament to the complexity that comes from these optimal growing environments.
This coffee is a blend of Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia varieties, grown by a collective of experienced farmers who process their beans together after harvest. At the mill, the beans undergo a fully washed process before being sun-dried on patios, which makes for a clean and crisp flavor profile in the final cup.
To preserve the lovely acidity and fruity notes of these varieties, we crafted a blend of both medium and dark roasted beans. This approach highlights the bright, sweet acidity and stone fruit flavors while also delivering the deeper notes of a darker roast, specifically, a creamy & caramelly body with hints of rich chocolate.
The result is a dreamy blend that’s both bright and cozy. You get the fruity sweetness from the medium roast and the rich, chocolatey hug from the dark roast. It’s like the best of both worlds in one cup, perfect for those mornings when you need a little extra warmth and cheer!
