Las Planadas Organic in a Freshness-Preserving Value Pack
With this 1 kg pack made up of 4 x 250 g bags, you can enjoy Las Planadas Organic coffee beans for even longer while preserving the freshness of the beans every time you open a new bag. Ideal for regular espresso lovers, this practical format helps protect the coffee’s rich aromas far better than a single large bag.
In the cup, this Colombian organic speciality coffee reveals an expressive and indulgent profile. It opens with bold notes of cocoa and walnut, before developing into a full-bodied, almost woody mouthfeel. The finish becomes softer and more delicate, revealing hints of blackcurrant jam with a subtle floral touch.
Its Medium+ roast, specially crafted for espresso and bean-to-cup machines, delivers a rounded, intense and beautifully balanced cup.

A Colombian Coffee Born in the Mountains of Tolima
Las Planadas Organic is grown at Finca La Roma, located in Planadas, in the southern part of Tolima. This mountainous region of Colombia is now recognised as one of the country's leading speciality coffee terroirs, thanks to its exceptional natural conditions and the dedication of its local coffee producers.
This coffee is part of the Black Condor Project, an initiative launched in 2019 alongside Emmanuel, a third-generation coffee producer, and Forest Coffee. The project supports more than fifteen coffee-growing villages in Gaitania, helping to improve coffee quality while ensuring growers receive greater value for their harvests.
Producers benefit from regular training in fermentation, drying, cupping and quality-focused practices. This long-term approach helps build a more sustainable supply chain, with farmers earning premiums of up to nearly 30% above conventional market prices.
Caturra, Castillo and a Washed Process: The Perfect Balance
This coffee brings together the Caturra and Castillo varieties. Caturra is prized for its refined aromatics, lively acidity and natural sweetness. Castillo, developed by Cenicafé, contributes greater body and remarkable consistency in the cup, while offering improved resistance to coffee leaf rust.
The coffee cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness before being carefully pulped. The beans are then left with their mucilage for around 24 hours, before being gently washed with clean water. Drying takes place slowly on patios over 15 to 25 days, depending on the weather conditions.
This washed process highlights a clean, structured cup with outstanding aromatic clarity and a deliciously smooth profile that is perfectly suited to espresso.

Lugat
The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
