Colombian Canopy – Organic Colombian Specialty Grade Single Origin Coffee
Premium Organic Colombian Coffee from Huila & Nariño Regions
CBC Roasters Colombian Canopy is an organic specialty grade single origin coffee crafted from 100% Colombian beans featuring the rare and highly sought-after Pink Bourbon and Geisha varietals. Sourced from the prestigious Huila and Nariño regions of Colombia, this exceptional coffee represents the pinnacle of Colombian coffee craftsmanship.
The name "Colombian Canopy" pays homage to the unique landscape where these beans are grown. The mountains and forests surrounding the coffee farms create a natural canopy structure that regulates temperature and moisture levels, resulting in beans with extraordinary complexity and clarity. This microclimate, combined with volcanic soil and high altitude (1,600-2,000m), produces one of the most distinctive and refined Colombian coffees available.
USDA organic certified and grown by small-holder farmers using sustainable practices, Colombian Canopy delivers a sophisticated cup with notes of pear, white grape, citrus, and remarkable juiciness. The Pink Bourbon varietal contributes delicate fruit notes, while the legendary Geisha varietal adds floral complexity and tea-like elegance.
Roasted fresh to order in our Arlington Heights, IL facility, every batch is carefully crafted to highlight the exceptional characteristics that make these rare varietals so prized among coffee connoisseurs.
