The Story Behind Cattleya Excelso EP:
The cattleya orchid is Colombia's national flower, and we chose the name to reflect the complex floral characteristics we seek in this coffee. Cattleya offers fresh Colombian specialty coffee available year-round.
This regional blend is crafted from coffees grown in the Tequendama province of Cundinamarca and the Lengupá province of Boyacá, both situated along the Eastern Andes mountain range on the Cundiboyacense plateau. Before the Spanish conquest, the indigenous Muisca people inhabited this region, which today is home to numerous preceramic and ceramic archaeological sites.
The Cundiboyacense landscape is mountainous, with altitudes ranging from 1,100 to 4,000 meters above sea level. Rich with rivers and lakes, it also contains a unique Andean ecosystem known as páramos—high-altitude moorlands—60% of which are found in Colombia. These páramos generate complex microclimates that produce exceptional agricultural products, particularly coffee.
