Colombia

A large-bean commercial preparation that offers access to Colombia’s varied regional Arabica cups. Supremo is available under different screen specifications, so the producing region and contracted preparation are the useful details when comparing lots.

Taste

Indicative Colombian range: fruit, caramel, chocolate or citrus.

Acidity

Medium to lively according to region; not set by Supremo.

Body

Commonly medium, with regional differences in texture.

Process

Conventionally washed Arabica; confirm the specific offered lot.

Agree minimum screen, undersize tolerance, defects and regional source. Supremo is a preparation name, rather than a botanical variety.

A defined bean-size selection for buyers seeking a consistent physical preparation. Colombian Screen 18 can express different regional cups, making the origin and processing useful companions to the size specification when choosing a coffee.

Taste

Indicative: caramel and fruit; some regions show chocolate or citrus.

Acidity

Region-dependent, commonly medium to lively in FNC profiles.

Body

Often medium; creamy or silky textures depend on the lot.

Process

Washed Arabica is the conventional reference; verify preparation.

Agree screen retention, undersize tolerances and defects, then assess the sample against your roast target. Size does not rank flavour.

A larger bean-size selection than Screen 18, suited to buyers specifying a particular physical presentation. The underlying Colombian region and lot still provide the flavour, allowing this preparation to be evaluated alongside its cup and roast performance.

Taste

Indicative Colombian regional range: fruit, caramel, citrus or chocolate.

Acidity

Not inherently higher or lower than Screen 18.

Body

Determined by the lot, not by the larger screen.

Process

Usually offered within washed Arabica preparations; verify the contract.

Request screen distribution, region and a sample. The larger number describes dimensions, rather than a sensory score or a particular variety.
