Why Roasters Choose Antioquia Traditional?
Antioquia Traditional is designed for coffee businesses that need a dependable Colombian washed coffee at a commercially practical price.
Its chocolate, sugar cane and nut profile performs particularly well at medium-dark and darker roast levels, making it a strong option for espresso, milk-based drinks and blends.
Because the coffee is built as a regional Antioquia lot rather than relying on production from a single farm, we can focus on maintaining a consistent cup profile while sourcing across multiple producers.
This coffee is a particularly good fit if you are looking for:
- A classic Colombian flavor profile
- Consistency for an everyday or core coffee
- A washed coffee that performs well in espresso
- A coffee that holds its character in milk-based drinks
- A Colombian component for blends
- Better economics for larger-volume programs
- Direct-from-Colombia sourcing without having to manage the export process yourself
What Is Traditional Washed Colombian Coffee?
Traditional is our name for a reliable, regional Colombian washed coffee designed for roasters who need consistency, approachable flavor and competitive pricing at commercial volumes.
Unlike a single-farm microlot, this coffee is sourced from multiple producers across Antioquia. This allows us to build a consistent regional profile around the characteristics many customers associate with classic Colombian coffee: chocolate, sugar cane, nuts, medium acidity and a creamy body.
For roasters, that makes Antioquia Traditional particularly useful for espresso, milk-based drinks, blends and everyday coffee programs where repeatability and value are just as important as cup quality.
How This Coffee Is Produced?
The traditional profile follows a washed processing method. The process begins with the harvesting of ripe coffee cherries, followed by pulping to remove the outer skin and pulp.
The coffee then undergoes a short fermentation period in water for approximately 14 to 18 hours, which helps break down and facilitate the removal of the remaining mucilage.
Finally, the coffee is dried either mechanically or naturally under the sun until the moisture content is reached between 10% to 12.5%.
Roast And Brewing Recommendations
Recommended Roast: Medium Dark, Espresso Dark, Vienna Roast.
This roast range develops the coffee’s chocolate, sugar cane and nutty notes while preserving balanced acidity, sweetness and a creamy body.
Best For: Espresso, milk-based drinks, batch brew and blends.
For espresso and milk-based drinks, a medium-dark roast will emphasize body and chocolate sweetness. A medium roast will retain more acidity and highlight the sugar cane character.
| Roast/application | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Medium-dark | Chocolate, sweetness and body |
| Espresso | Strong fit |
| Milk drinks | Strong fit |
| Filter | Possible, but not its primary commercial strength |
| Blend component | Strong fit |
