MINIAS - Cordillera Quindío Blend - The Ultimate Armenian Coffee
Our Cordillera Quindío Blend is the result of a meticulous search for the quintessential profile of specialty coffees from Colombia’s Central Mountain Range of Quindío. This blend combines Caturra and Castillo varieties sourced from different farms in the municipalities of Buenavista, Pijao, and Córdoba, all located at altitudes 1,500 meters above sea level. The cup profile consistently aligns with what is typically sought in a coffee from the Quindío highlands: a fragrance reminiscent of dulce de leche, notes of caramel, sugarcane, and dark chocolate, a silky body, and medium citric acidity.
This "After Dinner Roast" honors a centuries-old cultural practice where friends and family gather post-meal to share stories, read fortunes in coffee grounds, and savor a rich, aromatic brew that transforms the simple act of drinking coffee into a meaningful moment of connection.

Saint Minias: Saint Minias was an Armenian prince serving in the Roman Army who later became a hermit on a hill near Florence. He was persecuted by the emperor for his beliefs and was ordered to worship the Roman gods. When Minias refused, he was put through a number of torments, including being burned, stoned, and fed to lions – from which he emerged unscathed. Finally, he was beheaded.
According to legend, he stood up, picked up his severed head, crossed the Arno River, and returned to his hermitage on the hill.
