Aino - Colombian light roast coffee

Colombian light roast coffee

Green apple • Milk chocolate • Nougat

This light roast Colombian coffee captivates with its rich sweetness and smooth, nougat-like character. The cup opens with notes of green apple and fresh fruitiness, yet remains gentle and well-rounded. In the background, you'll find a milk chocolate softness that makes the mouthfeel silky and pleasantly full.

We recommend this coffee especially for filter brewing methods, where its natural sweetness and clarity are best highlighted. It is also excellent as an espresso when you are looking for a lighter, fruitier, and slightly different espresso experience.

Coffee background

In the mountains of Colombia, coffee grows on small family farms where every harvest is more than just work for the farmer; it is a part of everyday life, tradition, and pride. When coffee cherries are hand-picked and processed on the farm, the coffee gains the very character that makes Colombia such a beloved coffee country: diverse, nuanced, and authentic.

This coffee is the result of multiple smallholder farmers, countless microclimates, bold experiments, and the farmers' own vision of how to bring out the best in the bean. Every batch is slightly different, but what they all share is the same honest flavor and careful craftsmanship.

Excelso is a Colombian export grade that indicates the uniformity and low defect rate of green coffee beans. It refers to medium-sized, carefully sorted beans that produce a clean and balanced cup without significant variations. The EP designation alongside Excelso further signifies hand-sorting, which reduces defects even more. The Excelso grade and hand-sorting ensure that the cup is clean and balanced – coffee that doesn't make a fuss, but which you notice from the very first sip: warm, clear, and perfectly nuanced.

Choose this coffee when you want an approachable yet distinctive cup. Works well with or without milk.
