Single Origin Espresso

$21

01

Our first single origin espresso release of 2023 comes from Hermel Lasso's La Lomita farm in Buesaco, high in the Andes of southern Colombia. The La Lomita single origin espresso is reminiscent of fruit punch with its bounty of ripe stone fruit balanced out by a soft citrus. Its intensity lends itself to being grown at a higher elevation, and helps with clarity in the cup. This single origin espresso presents a fruity alternative to our Black Cat Classic, with notes of ripe stone fruit balanced out by soft citrus. It can be enjoyed with or without milk and is a refreshing summer take on a classic espresso shot.

How To Brew

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com.
