Colombia La Pelota comes from the storied Huila department, home to the ancient Forest of Statues where hand-carved monuments have stood vibrant for millennia. The coffee grown in the Alto La Pelota region carries that same enduring brightness—a reflection of the small landholder farmers who tend these high-altitude lots with ceremonial care. Roasted by Goshen Coffee, this single-origin celebrates the terroir and tradition of one of Colombia's most revered coffee landscapes.
Tasting Notes
Expect a luminous cup with notes of red apple, brown sugar, and a whisper of citrus zest. The body is silky and medium-weight, balanced by a lively acidity that never overwhelms. The finish is clean and sweet, inviting you back sip after sip—a coffee that earns its place in your daily ritual.
Brew Methods
La Pelota shines brightest in pour over methods like V60 or Chemex, where its clarity and fruit-forward character can fully express themselves. It's equally rewarding as a bright, approachable espresso with milk, or brewed in an AeroPress for a clean, nuanced cup. French press lovers will appreciate its rounded body and sweetness, though a slightly coarser grind will keep the brightness intact.
