Devocion

Another reason we’re excited to bring on Brooklyn-based Devoción is to highlight how our approaches to coffee freshness align. When Devoción talks about freshness, they’re talking all the way from Colombian farms to your cup. Their team does everything short of picking the cherry, and does it faster than anyone else — they hand-select from their 1,000+ farm partners, dry-mill at their Bogotá facility, control the export process, and then roast in Brooklyn. Without relying on exporting partners or middlemen, Devoción can roast 100% of beans within a month after leaving origin.

Devoción’s flavor profiles practically jumped off our tasting table — the cacao notes were richer, and the cherry flavors came across more vibrantly. But their expertise goes beyond flavor profiles; Steven is committed to creating programs to invest directly back into the social, economic and environmental sustainability of the communities Devoción sources from, including his hometown of Medellín.
