This Colombia Supremo green coffee is one of my own and my customers’ favorite coffee choices. My preferred method of roasting this high-end Arabica is to take it to a dark roast profile, just below of that of a French or Spanish roast profile. I have personally found that at this profile stage all of the aromas and essential oils of the Colombia Supremo coffee beans are brought out and these oils give the coffee a perfect espresso-taste and wonderful aromas as an end result!
