Colombia Dulce Misterio

Coffee overview

This coffee leapt off the cupping table during sample evaluations, offering an exceptional sweetness befitting the name Dulce Misterio (Sweet Mystery). Producer Mauricio Duque comes from the exporting side of the industry, and in 2020, purchased this farm after thorough research into soil characteristics and historical performance of coffee competitions in the region. Mauricio is very analytical in his approach, ensuring his processing is perfect through many metrics. The resulting cup offers a depth of sweetness that is truly remarkable. Keep an eye out for this farm as we expect to see many exceptional lots coming forth in the future.
