Details

Colombia El Indio LiftUp Roast celebrates the vibrant spirit of Planadas, Tolima — a region where smallholder farmers cultivate coffee with extraordinary care and deep-rooted tradition. This microlot comes from families who hand-pick only the ripest cherries, selecting each one with intention before sorting them again to remove any imperfections.

After harvest, the cherries are sun‑dried on raised beds under carefully controlled conditions, allowing the fruit’s natural sugars to concentrate slowly and evenly. This patient process brings out the expressive character that defines El Indio.

Made from 100% Caturra — a natural mutation of Red Bourbon known for its resilience and exceptional cup quality — this coffee offers a flavor profile that is both bold and elegant. Expect a juicy, fruit‑forward cup layered with notes of blackberry and cherry, lifted by bright tropical hints of passionfruit and orange candy. A deeper sweetness reminiscent of grape reduction and Nutella rounds out the finish, creating a cup that is sweet, complex, and unmistakably Colombian.

Colombia El Indio is a joyful expression of natural processing done with precision. Whether you’re savoring it as a morning ritual or sharing it with someone special, this coffee invites you into the richness of Tolima’s terroir — one cup at a time.

Enjoy the taste in full

These high ferment naturals are placed in oxygen-free containers for a short period and then dried on raised African-style drying beds for 4-5 weeks. The coffee is then grouped into thicker layers and left to dry for another 25 days. Cherries are run through density channels before being spread out on drying patios for approximately 5-8 days. Like all of our Chinese coffees, Guiben produces a very consistent cup that can be relied on for high quality each harvest.
