Product description
As its name suggests, Colombia La Secreta holds the secret to perfect taste. The coffee trees grow on a farm of 30 hectares, at an altitude of 1,700 to 2,050 m above sea level, which give this coffee of superior quality (SCA 84) its unique flavour characteristics. It tastes of cocoa, ripe mirabelles and grapes in the cup. Great for refreshing espresso.
