Tolima Especial Coffee Beans

Especial = special. That's how we feel when we take our first sips of this Colombian coffee. On pour-over, it's alive with flavor.

The beans that comprise the Tolima Especial lot were grown between 1510 and 2100M above sea level. We tasted notes of chocolate, nougat and stone fruit.

Canyon's current producer the Asprasar co-op in South East Tolima. Asprasar was created in 2016 by about 100 men and women farmers, with the goal of increasing their quality of life through earning higher prices for their coffees.
