Juicy acidity and a super smooth body in the same cup: it's not unheard of but it's not that common either. This coffee is a balanced treat.

Understanding roast levels

Roast level affects both flavor and body. Here's what to expect from each.

Light

Best for: those that prize delicate flavors and a tea-like feel above intensity.

Light-Medium

Best for: those that enjoy juicy acidity and gently caramelized sugars.

Medium

Best for: those that enjoy balance and classic flavors like cocoa and nuts.

Medium-Dark

Best for: those looking for classic coffee flavors with a kiss of roast.

Dark

Best for: those that love intense, smoky flavor and a full body above all else.

Trade Tip

Roasters don’t always agree on roast level — one roaster’s dark might look the same as another’s medium. We taste and assign every coffee our own roast level, so your matches stay consistent no matter who roasted them.

    Remarkably Well Balanced

    Another favorite from the pour over collection - I'm finding the Columbia El Puente particularly smooth and well balanced. I can taste caramel, plus a kind of bright citrusy note, and it's all coming together in a really smooth way. Two thumbs up.

    Smells Amazing

    The notes of caramel, almond, and nougat really come through in this coffee. I didn't notice orange notes, but somebody else might be able to detect it. I have never had this coffee before and loved it! I think it is very unique and flavorful. Thank you, Trade Coffee!

    Smooth, Sweet, Satisfying

    Steady State's El Puente is the kind of coffee I look forward to brewing. Every cup is smooth, sweet, and satisfying. I get plenty of caramel and almond up front, with a nice touch of orange that adds the right amount of brightness. The nougat note ties everything together with a creamy finish. It's balanced, easy to drink, and full of flavor. I'd happily recommend this coffee to anyone looking for a consistently great cup.

    Bright balanced cup

    I LOVE this coffee! I brew on an aeropress and make my daily cup similar to an iced latte. This coffee is bright and has balanced acidity. With milk the tasting notes still stand out. I highly recommend this roast!
