Description

raw green bean Green coffee is raw Roast prior to consumption

A 17/18 screen (Supremo), the Colombia Huila is smaller-bodied when compared to its relative, the Bucaramanga. Grown and harvested in Huila, Colombia, this bean’s origin lies near the Nevado de Huila volcano––the soil is rich with minerals, and the microclimate is perfect for perfect, complex coffee. The producers use manual, hand-cranked machines to de-pulp the bean’s cherry, and raised beds dry the coffee evenly. The beans are expertly handled at every processing stage

Cupping Notes: Well balanced acidity and a delicate medium body. It starts off sweet with notes of tart fruit and finishes with a bittersweet, dark cocoa notes.

Love it! Getting back into roasting my own green coffee beans and this has so many different flavors depending on the roast time. I usually like dark roast - oily shiny beans but if a medium roast and dark roast are mixed the results are awesome!

I'm a novice roaster. That said, I thought it's a very good coffee. I roasted it just starting second crack in a drum roaster.

Initially roasted to a light sample on my Ikawa Pro100 that typically works with most washed coffees. It was very acidic and underdeveloped. So I used an elongated espresso profile and got a better cup out of it. After several roasts to dial it in, I feel it is just not the coffee for me. Very acidic and by the time I’m able to roast it to the point where the acid is not overpowering then most of the complexity is gone. This is a decent choice perhaps for those that like to go darker, but not nearly as good as Coffee Bean Corral’s El Gato Supremo for a light to medium roast in my opinion.

Very Powerful cup of coffee in regards to caffeine...however underwhelming in aroma and character. Roasted it to a med-dark prior to display of oil. Clean and simple, but not impressive.

The Huila Supremo is a very good all-day coffee! I find it roasts very consistently batch to batch and provides a very smooth taste with some sweetness and absolutely no bitterness. I’ve been roasting to medium or maybe medium-dark, not quite to the point where the oils appear on the bean surface. This seems to have become my best seller with my customers of my tiny roasting company. They love it too!

Roasted medium dark, took a full 5 days to degas and round out. Taste is good, aftertaste not so much.

I started doing business with Coffee Bean Corral just recently. This was my second order and I am very pleased with the quality of the green beans and their quick prompt service and delivery. I started roasting my own coffee for personal use and love it as a hobby. The Coffee Corral seems to have a consistent broad range of green coffees to choose from and were able to give me status as to when one of my favorites would be available on the one occasion it was out of stock. With such a good selection I really appreciate that they offer free 1/2 lb samples. My beans have always arrived on time and in good condition. In short Coffee Bean Corral has been one of the bright spots in my coffee roasting experience. A nice smooth mellow coffee at a medium/dark roast, full flavor. Thanks!

Like the cheaper price. Not your typical Colombian flavor profile due to the fruitiness attributed to it. I roasted two different ways: 1 minute after the end of 1st crack and right before second crack. You definitely taste the fruity notes with the lighter roasts, and the longer you roast they tend to soften but the flavor is still there.

I found this coffee to be a bit lacking in flavor and aroma compared to some others I've had. It's good, it's just not great. The beans roast unevenly compared to others and took longer than usual to roast, never attaining quite the darkness I'm used to getting in the same amount of time with other beans. Chocolate flavors, not too acidic, smooth flavor with a hint of earthy flavor. Mild flavor and aroma. Nice afternoon, after lunch coffee.

My wife and I were looking for a bean to call our "daily" coffee. This is the winner after trying dozens of other beans. I roast to Full City+

Surprisingly rich and full bodied. Intuition said to toast these a little longer until they almost sheen but not quite to dark roast. It was hard to know what to expect at first from these Columbian beans especially after years of novice coffee consuption of robusto beans. Definitely a deep earthy pronounced flavor with subtle overtones of cocoa. A welcome addition to the pantry. Thank you everyone at coffee bean coral for going the extra mile once again!

I have gotten a couple different beans from different places and these beans are by far the best! I’ve tried it at a medium dark to an espresso roast and no matter what I do it taste absolutely incredible! It’s extremely smooth with no bitter aftertaste. My mom who is not a coffee drinker was able to try this coffee and recognize its flavor!

I just roasted my first batch of these and am very happy to taste the winey notes. Took it to dark and shiny the way I like most beans. I'm gonna say ...... the best Columbian I have tasted. I am not a believer in the let it sit a while stuff to degas I like to pull a shot while the beans are still warm just like eating cookies as soon as I can pick em up. Happy Happy Happy, I can recommend these to anyone who likes dark roast.

These have been my go-to beans for years. I roast pretty dark and these produce an ideal classic flavor. Sort of like the best diner coffee you've ever had. I occasionally try to find a comparable dark roast for sale and nothing comes close.

Nice chocolate undertones. As with the other Columbian coffees I've purchased here, it lacks the bitter taste of some coffees. It has a smoother, chocolate, caramel flavor to it. Medium Dark roasted. Great coffee.

Another really solid coffee. Columbian coffee seems to have acquired an almost 'generic' label over the years, due to every Tom, Dick, and Harry coffee roaster using the name to promote their product. But this is real quality Columbian. Took to about City+ on an SR800. Full, very rich aroma and taste. Fairly bold, somewhat sweet, nutty, and chocolatey. Again, really rich, almost decadent. As noted in a prior review, the flavors really do develop as you drink it, and stay with you for a while after. Very, very good.

If you don’t thoroughly understand, and know, EXACTLY what you’re seeking in your cup of coffee, don’t buy these beans! I KNOW coffee, and OMG they’re worth every CENT of their cost to me! The taste of my first medium dark roast, hit me so hard I had to sit down, and I remained frozen in place for several minutes as it exploded in my mouth! I wouldn’t miss this experience for the world BUT I’ll strongly suggest that you work with all the REST before you try the BEST, because it’s only by comparison that you’ll understand how incredibly excellent these beans ARE!

Just bought 5 lb bag of Colombia Huila Supremo beans recently, and loving the flavors of a dark roast, I roasted in an oven until oils started coming out of the beans. They were amazing! I was able to achieve one of the flavors I love in a dark roast; a mild, but nutty, and sweet taste, with a hint of popcorn flavor. I am going to love experimenting some more. I will buy these again.

Roasted well into second crack, light Vienna, slightly oiled bean surface. Outstanding, mild yet flavorful coffee. Brewed alone as well as blended with Tanzanian Peaberry roasted at French; the blend with the TP was amazing. All gone.

Gave it 5 stars because any problems were mine and my coffee roaster - more mine. I like a darker roast, the Behmor didn't and would shut off with an overheat error. I have a roast of this that's not as dark as I like, but is very good. I bought my Behmor several years ago and they have since upgraded it. I bought and installed the upgrade for my older machine and I am getting roasts that I like. Will be buying this again.

I roasted this bean several times. My first few batches were unimpressive. Somewhat bland, non fruited with a bitter finish. I changed my profiles a bit now it’s very delicious. Sweet, flavorful, very clean, full body, hints of spice and cherry. No bitterness. I roast with a high drop temp, dry end at 5 minutes, first crack at 8.5 minutes with a drop of 10.5 minutes. I roast to medium city.
