El Indio — Red Wine & Blackberry Jam — Whole Bean — 227g / 454g
Red wine on the nose. Colombia in the cup.
El Indio is a seasonal natural-processed lot from Tolima, sourced through Cofinet from regional smallholder growers. Extended sun-drying on raised beds develops a wine-like sweetness and dark fruit character that washed coffees don't reach.
Roasted to a medium profile by Counterpart Coffee in Squamish, BC — first roasted July 21, 2026. This is a seasonal coffee: we brought in one lot, and once it's gone, it's gone.
Tasting notes: Red Wine | Blackberry Jam | Dark Chocolate | Orange Peel

Origin: Tolima, Colombia
Grower: Regional smallholder growers, Tolima

SCA Score: 87.25
Best for: French Press · Pour Over · Cold Brew
Key Features:
- Acidity: Low, wine-like
- Aromas: Red wine, ripe blackberry
- Body: Full, syrupy

Freshness note: This natural-processed coffee is best within the first 3–4 weeks of its roast date (printed on your bag) — that's when the fruit and wine notes are brightest. After that it stays perfectly good to drink for weeks more, just mellower and less vibrant. Naturals like El Indio actually hold their sweetness longer than washed coffees — the acidity is what fades first.
Available in 227g and 454g sizes.
