I've been drinking the Colombia Medium Roast from Brooklyn Roasting Company for years. It's my favorite coffee!
Store owner replied: Years of Colombia mornings, we love that. "But first, coffee" is the right attitude! Thanks for the video, Elimar.

Colombian coffees are some of the most delicious coffees grown anywhere in the world. Our Tolima shows off exceptional brightness, a firm, balanced body and notes of dark chocolate, stone fruit, and a pleasing “baked cookie” aroma.
Tolima’s home high in the mountains of northern Colombia benefits from extremely nutrient-rich soil free of agrochemicals. Perfect anytime of day, balanced and bright.

Cupping Coffee Is at the Center of Our Craft
Coffee is the seed of a tropical evergreen shrub. Growers around the world harvest and process a wide range of coffee varietals grown under widely different conditions. The genetics of the plant and the "origin terroir” greatly contribute to the character of the coffee you wind up tasting in the cup. At the Brooklyn Roasting Company we search out the world’s finest coffees and expertly roast them to tease out their many colorful characters. Our coffee team is constantly evaluating the coffees we source (or consider sourcing). At the outset, we measure the moisture content of incoming “green” and then sample roast these lots to determine the optimal profile for each coffee on a larger, commercial scale. We cup each sample roast on rotating stone tables equipped with circulating hot water baths, and a thick, tempered glass surface that floats on zany 1960’s superballs and hula hoops. This playful, colorful backdrop to cupping and assessing coffee–the core of our craft– is a constant reminder to appreciate and unlock the flavors and aromas that characterize the extraordinary beans we buy. Taken together with our “Color of Coffee” tasting approach, this crucial quality control step typifies our “serious but not snobby” approach.

I do not like it, dis not meet my expectations
Great coffee!
Store owner replied: Looks like you're working your way through our lineup, Thomas! Glad the Colombia Tolima made the cut too.
Brooklyn Roasting Company’s Colombia Tolima is the rare coffee that feels more put together than you are in the morning. Bright but balanced, with a smooth body and a clean, chocolatey finish. No bitterness, no fuss—just a quietly excellent cup that does its job very well
Store owner replied: "More put together than you are in the morning" made our whole team laugh. Thanks, Derek. A quietly excellent cup is exactly what the Tolima is here for.
Love this coffee! Ive been brewing it on espresso and all around it wins. easy to dial in, good mouthful, excellent with milk
Store owner replied: Easy to dial in and great with milk, that's a winning espresso in our book too. Thanks for the review, Roy!
This is our daily morning go-to cup of joe! Love its chocolatey notes and aroma. Great way to start the day!
Store owner replied: Chocolatey notes first thing in the morning, hard to beat. Thanks for making the Colombia Tolima your daily go-to!
Everything I get from Brooklyn Roasting is fantastic, but this Columbia is amazing. The taste, the depth of flavors. It's the best Columbia I've ever had. I use this in my Jura automatic coffee maker and it comes out perfectly.
Store owner replied: Best Colombia you've ever had is huge praise, Richard. Great to hear it runs perfectly through your Jura too. Thank you!
Arguably my favorite, every day coffee (and I’ve tried a lot). The aroma is intoxicating, and the flavor is sublime! Only minor complaint was that I ordered the 5lb bag specifying preferring it be sent in smaller bags instead of one, bulk bag…and it ended up coming in the bulk bag.
Store owner replied: Intoxicating aroma and sublime flavor, thank you, Gerson! Sorry the 5lb order didn't come in the smaller bags you asked for. We appreciate you letting us know.
Beautiful rich full bodied but not bitter or astringent. Full of flavor. Roast is 100% consistent and brewing is simple with good equipment. Love this coffee.
Store owner replied: Rich and full bodied without any bitterness, that's the Tolima at its best. Thanks for the thoughtful review, Brad!
I found this bean through Domo Coffee in Idaho. But it was seasonal and eventually they dropped it. Brooklyn Roasting saved the day. This is the best Columbian coffee I have ever brewed and Brooklyn website and fast shipping keeps me coming back time and time again. Kudos to the Roastmaster .. perfection.
Store owner replied: So glad we could save the day, David! We'll pass the kudos along to our roastmaster. Thanks for sticking with the Tolima.
Found this at the Wegmans near me and it was so good I had to come here to review it! Just signed up for a subscription
All BRC products are a joy to savor. It starts with visual satisfaction from colorful and creative packaging. Open it and the aroma extends the experience to the point where you might quit your usual vow to only have coffee in the morning. The taste seals the deal.
Store owner replied: Tempting you out of your one-cup vow might be our proudest achievement yet. Thanks for the kind words about the packaging too, Stephen!
Best coffee around!
Store owner replied: Thanks, John! Looks like the Tolima joined the Ethiopia Washed on your list. We appreciate you.
This coffee is excellent!
Store owner replied: Appreciate you, Steve! Enjoy every cup of that Colombia Tolima.
