CAFÉ SAN ALBERTO Colombian Whole Bean Coffee Medium Roast 12 oz — Single-Estate, Resealable Bag

San Alberto Colombian Whole Bean is a single-estate, medium-roast Arabica coffee roasted in small batches for a bright, balanced cup with caramel, red-fruit, and soft dark-chocolate notes.

Harvested at high altitude on Hacienda San Alberto in Buenavista, Quindio, this 12 oz bag contains 100% Arabica beans from Caturra and Castillo varieties. The beans are roasted to a medium level and packaged in a resealable, light-blocking bag so aroma and flavor stay intact until you grind. Because every bean is traceable to one estate, the cup expresses specific terroir and craft rather than a generic supermarket blend.

What does a medium roast from a single estate taste like?

This roast preserves origin character: bright acidity up front, a clear caramel sweetness, gentle red-fruit hints and a rounded dark-chocolate finish. It avoids the char and bitterness of darker roasts so subtle flavors come through.

• Flavor profile: caramel sweetness, delicate red fruit, soft dark chocolate
• Acidity: lively but balanced, not sharp
• Body: medium, clean clarity ideal for filter brewing

How should I brew San Alberto to get the best cup?

Whole beans let you control grind size and brewing method; filter techniques highlight brightness and nuance. For pour-over or Chemex use a medium-fine grind, for French press use coarser grounds, and for espresso adjust to a fine grind and dose appropriately.

• Recommended ratio: about 7–9 grams coffee per 100 ml water
• Water temperature: 195–205°F (90–96°C) for optimal extraction
• Best methods: pour-over (V60, Chemex), drip, French press, and adaptable for espresso

How does the packaging keep the coffee fresh?

Beans are roasted in small batches and packed into a resealable bag designed to block light and limit air exposure. Whole-bean format delays aroma loss until you grind, preserving volatile oils and flavor compounds.

• Resealable, light-and-air-blocking bag preserves aroma
• Whole-bean form maintains peak freshness until grinding
• Small-batch roasting reduces variability between bags

Why choose a single-estate Colombian coffee?

Single-estate coffee provides traceability to one farm and reflects a specific microclimate and growing altitude. San Alberto’s beans come from trees cultivated at 1,500–1,800 meters, producing denser beans with concentrated, nuanced flavors you can identify cup after cup.

• Full traceability: beans sourced from Hacienda San Alberto only
• High-altitude cultivation yields more complex flavor
• Recognized quality: multiple international awards signal consistency

Who is this for? If you value origin-driven coffee, enjoy filter brewing, and prefer a balanced medium roast that showcases sweetness and fruit notes rather than smoky, one-dimensional dark roasts, this 12 oz whole-bean San Alberto is made for you. It’s also an upscale gift choice for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate traceability and award-winning quality. Buy this bag when you want a reliably bright, layered cup that rewards careful brewing and slow mornings.
