Colombia La Ostrella del Ostro Coffee
Voted as ELLE's & Esquire's 'Best Wholebean-Only Subscription', Shortlist's 'Best Coffee Subscription' and more
La Estrella del Ostro means Star of the Southerly Wind in Spanish.
The bright star shines just above the mountain range where this coffee is grown. On a clear night, it points towards the top of the mountain in La Plata.
La Estrella del Ostro is a Colombian speciality coffee grown by various small-scale coffee growers located in the southern region of La Plata, Huila. These small-scale producers all share the same microclimates favourable for cultivating the highest quality coffee. There are only 500 bags produced each year.
This is a great coffee, particularly enjoyable as a Filter or French Press. However, it still makes a fantastic Espresso. There are floral, apricot and red berry notes, pastry and caramel tones with an overall melon sweetness. All in a round body and balanced cup.
