Cattleya Excelso EP

Named after Colombia's national flower, Cattleya celebrates the elegance and complexity that have made Colombian coffee one of the world's most admired origins. Just as the orchid is known for its beauty and delicate floral character, this coffee was created to showcase the vibrant acidity, balanced sweetness, and refined floral notes that define the region.

As part of the StoneX Specialty Coffee Flower Series, Cattleya is thoughtfully crafted to provide roasters with dependable quality and a consistent cup profile from harvest to harvest. Rather than relying on a single producer, we partner with smallholder farmers across the Tequendama province of Cundinamarca and the Lengupá province of Boyacá, carefully selecting coffees that capture the character of Colombia's Eastern Andes while maintaining the profile our customers know and trust.

Coffee is grown between 1,200 and 2,000 meters above sea level, where high elevations, abundant rainfall, and diverse microclimates create ideal conditions for exceptional coffee. Farms, many averaging less than one hectare, cultivate traditional Colombian varieties including Colombia, Castillo, and Caturra before the coffee undergoes careful washed processing to highlight its clarity and complexity.

The result is a clean, expressive cup with bright acidity, layered sweetness, and elegant floral notes—a profile that reflects both the craftsmanship of Colombia's smallholder producers and the quality that has made Colombian coffee a benchmark for specialty roasters around the world.
