In the cup, San Antonio expresses itself with clarity and freshness.
Strawberry lends a juicy, luminous sweetness, jasmine elevates the whole with a refined floral dimension, while thyme subtly invites itself into the aftertaste, adding depth and complexity.

Why choose Carolina Ramirez coffee?
A new voice in Colombian coffee
Carolina Ramirez is one of the rising stars of Unblended's Young Producers program. A lawyer by training and an endurance runner by passion, she embodies a new generation of producers who approach coffee with curiosity, method and sensitivity.
A transformative return to her roots
When the pandemic struck, Carolina left Medellín to return to her family farm in the Colombian Andes. It was here that she fell in love with specialty coffee - not just the cup, but the entire production chain.
Today, she works hand in hand with her mother. Together, they conceive, select and process each batch with remarkable care.
Precision as a signature
This washed coffee is a blend of two batches harvested one day apart, a choice that brings complexity and balance to the final profile. Every stage is carefully thought out, measured and respected, from fermentation to drying.
