Colombia La Meseta is a single-origin arabica coffee from the Jardin region of Colombia, grown at 5,000 feet altitude on Finca La Meseta. This medium roast coffee delivers a smooth, full-flavored cup with undertones of caramel and nuts, finishing with a bright, pleasant clarity. The altitude and careful cultivation result in a distinctively refined Colombian coffee that stands out for its quality and complexity.
Orinoco Coffee & Tea carries a heritage dating to 1909 when Leonardo Alarcon began collecting coffee in southwest Venezuela, establishing a family legacy that now spans four generations of growers, exporters, importers, and roasters. The company was formally founded in October 1996 by the Ramirez brothers and named for the river running through their Venezuelan homeland, anchoring the brand to its origins. Based in Jessup, Maryland, Orinoco balances family tradition with modern specialty coffee standards, earning a gold medal for Espresso Aniversario at the 2014 International Coffee Tasting Competition. Fair Trade and USDA Organic certifications reflect a commitment to both environmental stewardship and fair compensation at origin.
