By pairing the dependable, large-bean structure of a classic Colombian Supremo with a carefully traceable, high-altitude lot from the smallholders of Caldono, Cauca, we’ve built a medium-dark roast that bridges rugged depth with refined sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Component Breakdown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve this deeply satisfying profile, we blend two distinct expressions of Colombian excellence:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Backbone (Colombian Supremo): Colombia’s top export grade (Screen 17\/18). These large, uniform beans roast exceptionally evenly, providing a low-acidity, heavy-bodied foundation characterized by toasted walnut, rich chocolate, and a clean, smooth finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elevation (Caldono, Cauca AA): Sourced from seven dedicated smallholder producers cultivating Castillo trees at 1,400–1,750 meters above sea level. Fully washed and meticulously processed, this AA-grade lot introduces a dense, syrupy sweetness and a layer of rounded fruit complexity that elevates the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Roast Profile \u0026amp; Tasting Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrought to a precise medium-dark roast, these two coffees lock together perfectly. The intense heat coaxes the vibrant fruit of the Caldono lot into a rich, molasses-like sweetness, while pushing the Supremo into deep, velvety cocoa territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAroma: Dark chocolate, roasted pecans, and brown sugar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody: Full, syrupy, and round\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlavor Profile: Sweet upfront with a heavy undertone of baker's chocolate and toasted walnut, balanced by hints of stewed stone fruit and a warming, spice-toned finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoaster's Note: Lock 17 is the ultimate crowd-pleaser that refuses to be boring. It is incredibly versatile—yielding a bold, comforting drip brew, standing up beautifully to cream, or pulling a rich, syrupy espresso with a thick, golden crema. Built tough, brewed smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Latitude 43 Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Medium-dark \/ Ground","offer_id":51535964668137,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium-dark \/ Whole bean","offer_id":51536056778985,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/2944\/5353\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_73f86107-e5ea-4fcc-a689-13e090fb6583.jpg?v=1784416546","url":"https:\/\/latitude-43-coffee-roasters.myshopify.com\/products\/lock-17-blend-little-falls-ny","provider":"Latitude 43 Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
