Olympia Coffee Colombia San Sebastian Reserva Medium Roast Fair Trade Shade Grown Whole Bean Coffee - 5 Lb Bag

The San Sebastian Reserva, a remarkable coffee blend, is the result of a meticulous selection process from hundreds of samples cupped from producers in San Sebastian De La Plata, Huila. These producers, situated at elevations above 1,700 meters on the three hillsides surrounding the community of La Plata, meticulously cultivate their crops.

The coffee beans undergo a delicate process, starting with manual de-pulping, followed by fermentation in tanks for up to 24 hours, and finally, being washed and laid to sun dry on parabolic beds. This dedication to quality is at the heart of the San Sebastian Reserva project, which aims to foster lasting, quality-focused relationships between farmer and roaster.

To ensure seamless collaboration, the project incorporates a staff cupper in Colombia who works closely with both the farmers and the roaster. Throughout the two growing seasons in La Plata, hundreds of samples of fresh coffees are sent to Olympia Coffee to be cupped every week, allowing for constant communication and feedback. Additionally, the staff of Olympia Coffee makes multiple visits to the farms, further strengthening the connection between the roaster and the growers.

The creation of the San Sebastian Reserva is a testament to the commitment of Olympia Coffee and its partners to delivering exceptional coffee while also fostering a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship with the farmers. This collaborative approach, combined with meticulous attention to detail, has resulted in a truly remarkable coffee that captures the essence of the San Sebastian region.
