Horizonte Traditional, Colombia, espresso roast
100% Arabica of the Castillo, Caturra variety (100% Arabica). If you prefer Colombian espresso with a traditional flavour, this is the coffee for you. Roasted slightly lighter to emphasise the full flavour profile. A perfect espresso prepared with a portafilter machine or in a Bialetti coffee pot.
This coffee is called "Traditional" because the coffee farmer Gerardo Franco cultivates his coffee beans in the traditional Colombian way and also lives by this maxim himself.
The small plantation, a "micro lot", is located in the steep, remote mountains above the Colombian town of Anserma. The view from Gerardo's farm is breathtaking - with a view of Anserma (which is located on a mountain ridge) and the co-operative with which Gerardo Franco works. It was Gerardo's father who recognised the potential for coffee growing in this fertile soil and with this favourable climate.
There are only 8000 trees planted on the slopes above Gerardo's house. Together with his family and two pickers, they work during the two main harvest seasons. No chemical fertilisers are used. The post-harvest process consists of 16 hours of fermentation, three separate washes to remove all the "floaters" (overripe beans) and then air-drying for a few weeks (depending on weather conditions).
Christoph Sauser's path to his company Horizonte Coffee Roasters is more like a winding mountain path than a predictable tarmac road. During his 20-year career as one of the world's best mountain bikers, Sauser has won bronze at the Olympic Games, two World Cup overall rankings, four world championship titles and five Cape Epic mountain bike stage races.
Sauser's path from professional cyclist to coffee roaster was paved by the same curiosity and pursuit of perfection. Drinking coffee is just one (incredibly enjoyable) part of a large and rich coffee culture. With Horizonte Coffee Roasters, you can experience and taste it all.

Fresh Service: This coffee is freshly roasted for you every Monday and shipped two days later.
We recommend that espresso roasts be used 12 days after the roast date or filter coffees 5 days after the roast date found on the package. Freshly roasted coffee needs this time until it is ready for a constant extraction.
