Los Alpes is a Colombian single origin coffee featuring a lively, delicate cup. The coffee presents bright fruit flavors including McIntosh apple, apricot, and black cherry complemented by floral notes of wildflowers. The palate shows hazelnut and honeycomb nougat with a refreshing silkiness that develops into a nectar-like sweetness, finished with a dusting of cocoa.
Established in 2016 by veteran roaster Stephen Rogers, who brings 25 years of experience to the craft, Pipe & Tabor is located in Red Hook, Brooklyn NY. At the heart of their operation sits a signature 1953 Barth Novo Cito cast iron drum roaster, a machine that relies on the roaster's sensory skills: smell, color development, and time rather than digital instruments. They source through Red Fox Coffee Merchants and demonstrate their commitment to farmer welfare by paying 4 to 6 times higher than commodity market prices. This dedication to quality at every stage defines their approach to roasting.
