Same name. Better Coffee.
Tinto by Colombici × Origenes
Lot 1 · Finca La Esperanza · Pijao, Quindío
The best Colombian coffee usually leaves Colombia. This lot didn’t.
Colombia exports over 10 million bags of coffee a year — the best ends up abroad. Locals drink leftovers.

Tinto by Colombici x Origenes exists to change that.
One 15 kg micro-lot at a time. We work directly with producers in the Quindío region and source through Origenes, certified tasters and roasters based in Salento, in the heart of the UNESCO Coffee Cultural Landscape.
This is export-grade coffee, kept domestically.
Available in Colombia only.

Roasted and curated by Origenes
Origenes was founded in Salento by Daniel and Diana Gómez — Q Arabica Grader and Q Grader Evolved respectively. They source directly from Quindío producers, evaluate lots through formal cupping, and roast on site.
For Tinto Lot 1 they identified the lot, cupped it against the brief, set the roast profile, and packed each bag.
