From Nariño to your door
Colombia is the origin most people already know, and Nariño is where it gets interesting: farms high in the Andes near the border with Ecuador, where cool nights slow the cherries down and concentrate their sweetness.
It's washed and dried on small family farms. Pick your roast level and we roast it in our Friday batch, after you order.
Brew it
A starting recipe for a medium roast. Lighter levels like hotter water and a finer grind; darker ones, the reverse.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from LAX?
LAX is a Colombian coffee from Huila, always roasted blonde. This Special Roast comes from Nariño and is roasted to the level you choose, after you order.
Which roast level suits Colombia?
It's versatile. Blonde and Medium keep the panela sweetness and red fruit; Bold turns it into a classic chocolatey cup.
When will my coffee arrive?
Order by Thursday night and we roast it in our Friday batch and ship it the same day. It usually arrives about 4 days after the roast.
How does Scheduled work?
Pick the roast level, the grind, how many bags and which Friday of the month we roast it. Scheduled saves 10%. We email you before every charge, and you can change, skip or cancel in one click.
Can I change the grind?
Yes, and grinding is free: whole beans, espresso, moka pot, pour-over, drip, french press, cold brew. Whole beans stay fresh longest.
