If you haven’t heard of our limited supply Colombia La Vega before, it’s beyond time to give it a try. With notes of blueberry, strawberry, and milk chocolate in the cup, this natural coffee is a tastebud pleaser!

Finca La Vega belongs to the Taborda Rojas family. It is located in the village of San José outside the municipality of Amagá in Southwestern Antioquia Colombia, at an elevation of 1800-1900 meters. The farm has an extension of about 3 hectares of which 25% are planted in forest and the rest contains the farmhouse and the coffee plantation of 13.000 coffee trees. The varietals grown are Castillo Rosario, Cenicafé 1 and Pink Bourbon.

This coffee from our friend at @paisacoffeellc is processed naturally, fermented anaerobically for 60 hours. #specialtycoffee #coffeeroaster #dccoffee #colombiacoffee #paisacoffeellc #swingscoffee

🚨NEW COFFEE ALERT🚨

The drying mill, Las Lajas, is one of the best micro mills in Costa Rica and is well known for its exceptional drying techniques for natural and honey-processed coffees. Oscar and Francisca are constantly experimenting and developing new processing techniques to create the best possible coffees. In the cup, we get notes of chocolate, cherry, mango, and sweet tea.

The Alma Negra natural process is defined by selective harvesting of only the ripest cherries. These cherries are washed and moved to patios for drying and are moved intermittently throughout the morning, then capped and covered in the afternoon and evenings.

This is a very special coffee, so be sure to grab a bag before it’s gone! #specialtycoffee #coffeeroaster #dccoffee #pyt #fyp #coffee #visitalexandria #visitwashington #washingtondc #coffeelover #coffeebar #laslajas #swingscoffee

Neil is so excited about one of our new coffees that was delivered today that we couldn’t even get it off the truck before he gave it a big fat hug. All of our coffee takes a long journey to get to us. We care about the journey coffee takes and the people it comes in contact with along the way, understanding that remarkable coffee is the end result of many. Stay tuned for new coffee being added to the website soon, and don’t forget to set up a coffee subscription with us so you never have to worry about running out! #delray #coffee #greencoffee #coffeedelivery #specialtycoffee #coffeeroaster #alexandriava #visitdelray #visitalexandriava #delray #swingscoffee
