Quindío
Expresiones is a family-run specialty coffee company in the Quindío region of Colombia, working across four farms with innovative processing methods rarely seen outside of competition coffees — carbonic maceration, high-mucilage honeys, naturals, and thermal action washes.
Five distinctive lots make up the Expresiones collection, each one a study in variety and process. All are roasted light and offered in 250g bags.

Expresiones coffees come from four partner farms in Quindío: Finca La Sirena in Calarcá, Finca La Macarena in Pijao, Finca La Linda in Buenavista, and Finca Bellavista in Quimbaya. Each farm sits in Colombia's central coffee-growing highlands, between roughly 1,350 and 1,660 meters above sea level.
What sets the Expresiones collection apart is process. Rather than sticking to the classic washed protocol, the team experiments with techniques more commonly seen in competition lots — a thermal action wash on the Castillo, a 75% mucilage honey on the Bourbon Naranja, carbonic maceration on the Geisha, and naturals on the Wush Wush and SL-28. The result is a collection that showcases how dramatically processing shapes cup character.
