Tasting Notes: Crispin Apple, Maple Candy, Coconut, Mint Chocolate
A 2024 Golden Bean Medalist, this coffee from Ederleth Lozano Molina is one of the most unique flavor profiles we've ever tasted. Tropical, fruity, chocolaty and minty, it is a decadent, rich treat! Finca Cosita Linda, Ederleth's farm, is located in an extremely steep, remote location in the mountains of Huila. Dedicated to biodiversity, she is an incredibly talented grower, as well as a gracious host.
In 2017, we visited Colombia, where we had the pleasure of helping judge a local micro-lot competition held at the "Coffee for Peace" festival. In a blind tasting, we discovered Ederleth's coffee, which came in second place out of over 260 entries. After falling in-love with the cup, we went to visit Ederleth’s farm. Climbing up the steep mountainside farm, we were greeted with an expansive view, and Ederleth’s warm hospitality. Since 2017, we have continued to buy coffee from Ederleth, and remain equally impressed each year with her new harvests.
Ederleth’s Coffee is sourced through Azahar Coffee, an organization that connects small, quality focused farmers from around Colombia with roasters such as ourselves. They diligently work to find the best coffees being grown in Colombia such as this one. The combination of tart and sweet notes in this coffee are perfectly balanced, showcasing Ederleth’s exceptional growing skills.

Brewing Tips
Use Filtered Water
Contaminants and chemicals in your water can make your coffee taste muddy, and they can also be harsh on your equipment. Using filtered (but not distilled) water helps your coffee taste clean, bright, and naturally sweet. And while there are a lot of expensive water filters on the market, we find that an inexpensive, basic carbon filter does a great job filtering water for coffee brewing.
Grind Fresh
We all love the smell of freshly ground coffee but all that beautiful aroma should be going into your cup and not just into the air. That is why we recommend grinding your coffee immediately before brewing so that all that goodness isn’t lost. The sooner you use your coffee after grinding, the more flavorful your cup will be preventing it from tasting stale and flat. And for best grinding results, we highly recommend using a quality burr grinder.
Coffee to Water Ratio
The amount of coffee beans you use can have a big impact on taste. Too much coffee, and the cup can taste heavy and sour. Too little coffee, and the cup can taste thin and bitter. We recommend using a 1:16 ratio by weight, 60g of coffee for every 1,000g of water which is about 2 Tbsp of coffee for every 8oz of water. Our preference is to use a scale to weigh coffee and water for accuracy and consistency, all of which can make a big difference.
