El Encanto Colombia

Colombia is renowned for pushing the boundaries of coffee production and processing, being home to many of the worlds best and highest paid producers.

It’s well known that Colombia is synonymous with exceptional quality coffee. We aim to showcase the very best of what this country has to offer, as well as working with our partners to shine a light on marginalised producer groups, such as women producers.

Since taking over, Juan has focused on experimenting with new varieties and learning how each one flourishes in their unique environment. This Tabi and Castillo lot is a shining example of the dedication and hard work he has invested. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly simple tasting notes—this coffee is complex, layered with sweet red fruit notes and a delicate herbaceousness that we’re all loving in the roastery

El Encanto is Luis’ favourite farm of the two owned and run by the family, it is exceptionally well kept and features a variety garden which displays around 60 coffee varieties. One of the primary challenges for Juan and the team is the high temperatures and humidity, which causes difficulties during the drying process. In response to this they have built an impressive 200 square meter shelving system, which can be wheeled outside during dry days and moved inside during wet days. Since this new system the coffees have become much more consistent and the quality has improved drastically.
