Methodical Coffee's Landmark is a love letter to Colombia's three centuries of coffee craftsmanship. This isn't a rotating single origin—it's a year-round commitment to the quintessential washed Colombian profile: caramel-like sweetness, warm baking spices, and the kind of gentle acidity that makes you understand why Colombia has shaped the world's expectations for what coffee should taste like. While the specific farm may shift seasonally, Landmark always sources from single-origin, washed-process lots that honor the country's signature flavor. Currently, that means coffee from the Women Growers Program at Co-Central cooperative in Huila, where 600 women producers are gaining visibility and control over their harvest.
Tasting Notes
Expect a clean, approachable cup with layered sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar and caramel, complemented by notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. The body is medium and silky, with a balanced acidity that brightens without overwhelming—think crisp red apple rather than citrus punch. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving traces of sweet spice on the palate. This is the coffee that defines "classic" for a reason: it's comforting, complex enough to stay interesting, and versatile across brewing methods.
Brew Methods
Landmark shines as drip coffee or pour over, where its clarity and layered sweetness come through beautifully. Try it in a V60 or Chemex to highlight the clean acidity and spice notes. It's equally excellent as French press, where the fuller body brings out more caramel depth. For espresso, expect a sweet, balanced shot with low bitterness—ideal for milk drinks or enjoying straight. The washed process keeps it forgiving across grind sizes and brew ratios, making it a reliable daily driver.
