Colombia El Silencio (200g)
Intense aroma of cocoa nibs, strawberry, and sweet blackberry. Strawberry notes with undertones of blueberries and plums, balanced by residual chocolate nibs. Its citric acidity and intense body create a dynamic cup, delivering a complex and sweet experience that lasts.
FARM: El Silencio
Sara and her family apply scientific methods alongside their coffee-growing traditions, ensuring consistent quality in each harvest. After harvesting and drying, the coffee beans are stabilized in GrainPro and sisal bags, where they rest for 1 to 1.5 months before being ready for milling and export.
This combination creates the perfect environment for slow, even maturation of the coffee cherries. The farm, surrounded by walnut, guamo, and banana trees, provides shade and semi-shade conditions that contribute to the development of complex flavors in the coffee.
We got to know Colombia El Placer via Col Spirit. Col-Spirit focuses on Colombian specialty coffee, offering fully traceable coffees with unique identities. They prioritize single-origin and single-farm beans.Their coffee is sourced from various family farms, some of which have a tradition and experience spanning over 100 years.
These families are eager to showcase their exceptional coffee to the world, but often lack the necessary resources to pursue their dreams. To support them, Col-Spirit purchases the coffee directly from the farms.They avoid intermediaries, cooperatives, and coffee agencies that primarily prioritize their own interests.
Col-Spirit is committed to educating farmers through workshops, helping them enhance their processes for picking, selecting, washing, and drying coffee beans. Furthermore, they meticulously cup and profile their coffee to ensure that customers receive the finest Colombian coffee available.

At El Silencio, the coffee cherries are hand-picked, then subjected to two floatation processes to ensure only the highest quality cherries are selected. The selected cherries undergo 168 hours of fermentation in controlled conditions, specifically the coldest part of the farm. After fermentation, the cherries are slowly dried on African beds until they reach a 10% humidity level. This meticulous Natural Carbonic Maceration (C.M.) process imparts fruity and sweet characteristics, enhancing the coffee's overall complexity.
