The Story Behind Supremo 17/18 EP

Colombian Huila Supremo EP Green Coffee Beans from Mercon Specialty

Supremo 17/18 EP is a washed coffee from Colombia, one of the world's most respected coffee origins and long known for its high-quality production.

Colombian coffee is know for its rich flavor and balance. This lot earns the Supremo grade for its large bean size, the top tier of Colombia's grading system, above Excelso. It is screened to 17/18 and prepared to European Preparation (EP) standards, meaning it is hand-sorted to remove defects for a clean, consistent roast.

Grown at high altitudes in the Colombian Andes, this coffee benefits from rich volcanic soil and a favorable climate. Together, these conditions produce coffee with excellent flavor and distinctive character.

In the cup, Supremo 17/18 EP is bright and well balanced, with a medium body. Notes of cocoa and a slightly floral character lead to a pleasant nutty finish, making it a versatile choice for single-origin offerings, blends and espresso.
