Contrary to popularly held ideals, modern day, specialty Colombia coffees produce more than just boring, one-liner cups. Advances and implementation of new growing and processing methods have drastically improved their quality and consistency. This offering from La Union showcases this well with big, syrupy cooked strawberry flavors that mingle with familiar sweet tones of chocolate sauce, butterscotch, and caramel. It’s an incredibly balanced and refined “union” of flavors that are sure to please any palette.

While cupping through many samples, this coffee stood out to us for its clarity and simplicity of flavors. Memorable notes of chocolates, sweet peanut butter, and red apple make this one tasty and approachable coffee that will shine no matter how you brew it. If this coffee were a type of dog, it would be a Golden Retriever because of its reliability and easy to love nature. Timana: man’s best friend.
