Colombia – Camano Island Coffee

Meet Our Columbia Roasters Reserve

If you enjoy coffees that are balanced, sweet, and full of character our Columbia Roaster’s Reserve offers a classic and rewarding cup. As one of our Roaster’s Reserve selections, this organic Colombian Excelso highlights the qualities that have made Colombian coffee so widely loved.

This coffee is defined by its natural balance. A nutty aroma leads into a flavor profile that blends cherry and red grape with smooth caramel sweetness. The body is medium, giving the coffee structure without heaviness, while the finish delivers a heavy, lingering sweetness that stays present well after the last sip.

The flavor experience is rich yet approachable, with a subtle spice undertone adding depth beneath the sweetness and fruit. Each element complements the others, creating a cup that feels cohesive and satisfying rather than sharp or overpowering.

When brewed, Colombia Reserve reveals a layered and comforting profile:

Aroma: Nutty

Flavor: Cherry, Red Grape, Caramel

Body: Medium

Finish: Heavy lingering sweetness

These flavors come together naturally, making the coffee easy to enjoy while still offering complexity and interest.

Colombian coffees are often appreciated for their versatility and balance, and this reserve reflects that tradition. Its medium body and lingering sweetness make it a reliable choice for everyday drinking, whether enjoyed slowly on its own or shared with others.

Our Colombia Reserve represents what we look for in a Roaster’s Reserve coffee, a thoughtful expression of origin, carefully selected for flavor, balance, and consistency, and meant to be enjoyed cup after cup.

July's Coffee of the Month

For the Month of July, we wanted to offer a Reserve that we haven’t offered in over 5 years to our customers. Camano Island Coffee Roasters only has 2 reserves in stock currently and it’s rare we are able to get the quantity necessary to offer one of them as our “Coffee of the Month” to our prosumers. This month, we were able to secure enough supply of our Colombia Reserve coffee.

Bean Notes:
As one of Camano Island Coffee Roasters’ “Roaster’s Reserve” coffees, the Colombian Excelso is the perfect combination of nuttiness, sweet caramel tones, along with a touch of spice on the undertone. Specifically, the nuttiness shines through. If you’re one of the many that love nutty coffee’s, this coffee will quickly become one of your favorites!

Country Notes:
Colombia has around 46 million people and is the third most populated country in Latin America. It is bordered to the east by Venezuela and Brazil, to the south by Ecuador and Peru, to the north by the Caribbean Sea, and to the west by Panama and the Pacific Ocean. Colombia is one of the world’s 17 “megadiverse countries” (most biodiverse per unit area). (see Colombia’s entry on Wikipedia for more information)

Roast Notes:
Our Colombian coffee beans are roasted to a medium/light color. A lot of people equate Colombian beans with some of the darker roasts around but we’ve found that the flavor is best when roasted to this level.
