Hand-harvested
Only fully ripe cherries are picked, tree by tree, over several passes of the harvest.
Atempo grows on a family farm in Albán, Cundinamarca, in the heart of Colombia’s Andean region. We farm regeneratively, working with the soil, shade trees and water of the mountain rather than against them, so every harvest leaves the land richer than before.
Small lots, slow work. Each step happens on the farm or a short drive away, so nothing is rushed between the tree and your cup.
Only fully ripe cherries are picked, tree by tree, over several passes of the harvest.
The fruit is removed and the beans fermented and washed for a clean, bright cup.
Slowly dried in the mountain air until the beans are ready to rest.
Roasted to a medium profile that keeps the sweetness of the origin.
A sweet, smooth cup with medium acidity and a full, rounded body. Delicate notes of honey and caramel finish on panela, Colombia’s unrefined cane sugar.
Our medium grind suits a cafetera, pour-over or French press. Keep your coffee somewhere cool and dry, ideally in an airtight container in the fridge.
