The Crafted Coffee Company - Colombian Excelso Medellin

Colombia is the second largest producer of coffee in the world and the largest producer of washed and Arabica coffee. There are three primary varieties grown in Colombia and the coffee is referred to by the region in which it is grown. Antioquia/Medellin is one of the larger coffee growing areas and produces the majority of Colombian coffee. Medellins have a medium body and are typically not as fruity/winey as coffees from other Colombian regions. The cup is well balanced and can be enjoyed at any time of day! This particular type is Excelso; this term is a coffee grading term in Colombia. Excelso coffee beans are large, but slightly smaller than Supremo coffee beans. It is possible that Supremo and Excelso coffee beans are harvested from the same tree, but they are sorted by size.
