Colombia El Paraiso

Roasted to order and shipped within 24 hours of your roast date — at its peak one to two weeks after roasting.

A bright, juicy washed Colombian single origin for filter

Colombia El Paraiso is a washed single origin from the Huila region, built as a community lot from nine smallholder producers around the town of Suaza. Lightly roasted for filter, it is clean, sweet and sessionable — all red apple, strawberry and praline. Made for pour-over drinkers who love clarity in the cup.

Tasting Notes

Coffee Details

About This Coffee

El Paraiso takes its name from the terroir of Huila, one of Colombia's most celebrated coffee provinces. Rather than a single farm, it is a thoughtfully assembled community lot — ten deliveries from nine small-scale producers, most of them around the town of Suaza, brought together so growers with tiny harvests can still reach specialty buyers.

The blending happens at origin. Local cupping teams assess each delivery from a single town or micro-region, then send samples to the quality-control team in Bogota, where the lots are curated into one balanced, repeatable profile. The result connects the hyper-local knowledge of village buying stations with the clarity that specialty filter drinkers look for.

Sourced through the exporter Caravela, El Paraiso is light, sweet and layered — brown sugar, red cherry, orange and almond woven through a clean, juicy cup. We roast it light in Kuala Lumpur to keep that brightness intact.

How to Brew Colombia El Paraiso

Brewing pour-over and finding it sharp or thin? Go one step coarser to slow the flow and round out the acidity; grind a touch finer if it tastes weak or watery.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

The 350g bag makes around 23 cups of filter coffee at 15g per cup — a few weeks of unhurried morning brews to get to know a genuinely characterful Colombian single origin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better for espresso or filter?
Filter. It is roasted light specifically for pour-over and other filter methods, where its red-fruit acidity and clean, sweet finish shine. You can pull it as espresso, but expect a bright, fruit-forward shot rather than a classic chocolatey one.

What does Colombia El Paraiso taste like?
Bright and juicy. Think red apple and strawberry up front, brown-sugar sweetness through the middle and a clean, praline-like nutty finish. Light-bodied and easy to drink cup after cup.

How fresh is it?
We roast to order in Kuala Lumpur and ship within 24 hours of roasting. These beans are at their best one to two weeks after the roast date, so plan to brew them over the following few weeks.

What grind should I order it as?
If you brew pour-over, V60 or a similar dripper, choose whole bean and grind fresh for the best clarity. Whole bean keeps it fresher for longer; grind just before you brew.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80. We roast and dispatch from Kuala Lumpur.
