Volcano, Colombia (Filter)

Vibrant and full-bodied, a fantastic example of a regional lot

The Profile

Volcano is a bright, citric Colombian regional coffee. It's an origin that's long been a staple at Machina, offering both complexity and accessibility in one cup.

Rich and full-bodied, Volcano has a gorgeously sweet caramel-like body, cut with a vibrant, juicy blood orange acidity. It's full and rich, with a slightly tangy note of red berry compote. As a Filter roast, expect a slightly lighter body and bonus acidity.

Incredibly versatile, you can brew this coffee any way you like and will suit most palates.

The Producers

Volcano is a speciality regional lot from Nariño, Colombia. The producers are represented by Cooperativa de Cafes Especiales de Narino, a cooperative driving a social programme of quality coffee coming from the smallest and least protected producers in the region.

Growing conditions in Nariño are pretty much ideal for coffee. Farms situated at higher altitudes means a cooler climate, meaning the sugars in coffee cherries develop more slowly contributing to its flavour. The climate is quite unique, with frequent intense rainfall and high humidity year round except for harvest time, where the days are sunnier and perfect for picking, processing and and drying coffee. Furthermore, high volcanic activity in the area means the soils are rich and fertile, creating complexity in the cup.
