2026 Luis & Mildred Montoya; La Arboleda - Colombia

This is our first year working with coffee from La Arboleda. This coffee was produced by Luis and his daughter, Mildred, and continues our exploration of Urrao. In the cup we find mulberry, peach, and lemon.

This 2026 lot from Sey Coffee showcases the work of producers Luis & Mildred Montoya at La Arboleda in Urrao, Colombia. The roaster identifies mulberry, peach, and lemon as the coffee's defining characteristics—a bright, stone-fruit-forward profile that suggests vibrant acidity and complexity. Urrao sits in Colombia's diverse coffee-growing landscape, where elevation and microclimate shape the cup significantly.

The interplay of dark berry sweetness with citrus brightness is typical of coffees from this region, though the specific expression here reflects the Montoyas' particular farming and processing choices. For a deeper exploration of how these flavor notes manifest, the flavor wheel offers a helpful reference for understanding the sensory dimensions at play.
