COLOMBIA RESERVA DEL DIABLO

The coffee has been brought to us by the Trinidad Coffee Group and marketed as Reserva Del Diablo (Devil's Reserve). The Trinidad Coffee Group is a collection of 4 farms working together to produce quality coffee for export directly to small coffee shops and vendors such as Fresh Coffee Beans Company. The coffee is grown in the "Vereda Uvales" close to Piendamó in the Cauca region. The coffee is 100% Caturra variety grown at 5500 feet in elevation; hand picked and processed using environmentally friendly practices.

The drying process is done using machine drying (silo), but instead of using fuel oil as it normally happens, these machines are specially designed to work with sisco as a bio-fuel. The sisco is the dry skins of the coffee beans, the waste of the threshing process of the coffee.

When roasted light the coffee exhibits amazing wine-like characteristics, lots of tannins and red-grape qualities. The flavor is sweet with hints of citrus, floral, red-grape, and anise. The body is light to medium and the aftertaste is clean with a tannic finish, there is an almost liquoring effect.
