INTRO

Part of April's Sustainable Profile project, this Colombian coffee comes from FNC, the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia. A classic expression of Colombian coffee, this blend of Caturra and Castillo varietals showcases the country's renowned sweet, balanced profile.

WHAT IS THE SUSTAINABLE PROFILE PROJECT?

The 'House Coffee' series by April, also known as their 'Sustainable Profile' Coffee. The idea is to grow together with partner producers that April already purchases smaller lots from. Importantly, the farmer sets the price they want for the green coffee based on their own valuation, giving them a more predictable revenue structure.

This symbiotic relationship between the farmer and April means the farmer gets a consistent and predictable income, and April gets consistent and predictable coffee all year round. April never leverages their partner farmers to support growth by asking for lower prices. Instead, the farmer tells April what price they want — from that April does an evaluation of the coffee, making sure it correlates with their quality standards.

THE CUP

A comforting, approachable cup with rich milk chocolate notes, biscuity sweetness, and a nutty finish. The medium roast profile creates a balanced coffee that works beautifully for both espresso-based drinks and filter brewing.

Flavour Notes

🍫 Milk Chocolate
🍪 Biscuit
🥜 Nutty

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans.
