Colombia La Mina

About This Coffee

This honey processed coffee comes from Finca La Mina in Veracruz, Nariño, Colombia, grown at an altitude of 2000 to 2100 meters in volcanic soil. The cherries are fermented for 48 hours before pulping, with mucilage retained to enhance sugar development during a 20-day drying process. This method contributes to a cup with rounded sweetness, layered fruit notes, structured acidity, and a textured finish, while maintaining the clarity characteristic of high-altitude Nariño coffees.

Five Elephant Coffee Roastery

Kris and Sophie Schackman founded Five Elephant in December 2010, opening their original cafe at Reichenberger Strasse 101 in Berlin Kreuzberg while establishing a separate roasting facility on Glogauer Strasse. Head roaster Wojtek Białczak, who placed fifth at the 2019 World Barista Championship in Boston representing Germany, oversees quality on a Diedrich roaster, ensuring every batch meets exacting standards. The roastery offers espresso, filter, and omni roast profiles, with their Meridian Collection showcasing diverse terroirs and varietals from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, and the Mogiana region of São Paulo, Brazil. Every coffee is cupped after roasting for quality control and flavor profiling, a discipline that reflects their commitment to consistency across four Berlin cafe locations. Direct trade relationships built through origin travel underpin their sourcing, and wholesale distribution extends their reach to partners around the world.
