Los Campeones

We named this coffee for a 2021 Colombian Barista Championship win from Diego and a Colombian Aeropress Championship win. Little did we know Diego would go on to win worlds in MIlan later that year, couldn’t have gone to a more deserving winner. Concentrating more so in the farming of coffee, now producing flavour bombs like this from Huila. Sammy and Jordy got to sample this number in early 2022 and were stoked to taste it was still a winner, and the pre-shipment Sam snuck in through customs for the roastery team was phenomenal. With this being their third season Diego and Derlin have improved, refined and dare I say; perfected their processes. Year on year their hard work and dedication pays off and we’re always surprised how great coffees become great-er-er. This year's lot has been built of select ripe cherries from their Colombia varietal trees. Diego’s Washed coffees follow a 24:36:12 pattern. 24 hours full cherry ferment, 36 hour second ferment after pulping and 12 hour soak, before being shade dried in parabolic dryers on raised beds. Pull up a pedestal, pour this out into a championship cup to sip on notes of juniper, a little lemon thyme acidity with a sweet blackberry finish.This coffee and all Diamante/Finca Tamana coffees were imported by us, with help from our mates at Interamerican.
