How does delivery work?
Every roaster on Coffee Nerdery ships your coffee directly to you, usually roasted to order. So delivery is charged per roaster, and free delivery thresholds apply per roaster too, not across your whole basket. Order from three roasters, and each delivery is counted separately.
We know that feels unfamiliar, because the ‘everything store’ trained us all to expect free shipping on everything. But that "free" was never really free; it’s paid for by scale that small roasters can’t replicate, and margins squeezed from suppliers. Coffee Nerdery takes nothing from your postage. Every penny goes to the roaster to cover the cost of getting your coffee to you. Paying it directly is a small act of support for an independent business doing one thing exceptionally well.

What to Expect
This Colombian from San Sebastián is the kind of coffee that doesn't demand your attention but earns it anyway. Medium-roasted Caturra and Castillo beans deliver plum sweetness, caramel warmth, and a whisper of nutmeg that lingers just long enough to make you reach for another cup.
The Cup
The body sits comfortably in the middle ground — round and smooth without feeling heavy. You'll get moderate acidity, the kind that adds structure without sharpness, thanks to the washed process keeping things clean and the medium roast softening the edges. There's no funk or ferment here, just straightforward, honest flavour. The plum note brings a cooked-fruit sweetness rather than tartness, while caramel and nutmeg add depth and a gentle spice that makes this feel like a proper autumn coffee, even when it's not.
Who This Is For
This suits drinkers who want balance and approachability without sacrificing character. It's versatile enough for daily drinking but interesting enough to pay attention to.
If you're chasing bright, fruit-forward acidity or experimental processing, this won't scratch that itch.
Best for: Everyday drinkers who appreciate warmth, sweetness, and a coffee that works any time of day.
How to Brew This Coffee
The medium roast makes this flexible across methods. Try it as filter to let the plum and nutmeg notes separate cleanly, or use an Aeropress for a fuller-bodied cup that emphasises the caramel sweetness. French press will give you the roundest, most comforting version, with a silky mouthfeel that suits the spice notes perfectly.

Origin San Sebastián Farm Inzá, Cauca Producers 6 small producers Altitude 1700-2000 masl Varietals Caturra & Castillo Process Washed Importer Cofinet Roast Profile Medium Taste Notes Plum/ Caramel/ Nutmeg
This coffee is produced by smallholder growers in Inzá municipality. Part of the Tierradentro region located on the western side of Cauca, a region that is 80% inhabited by an indigenous tribe called the Paeces. The average size of the farms here is 0.5 to 1.5 hectares, each producing microlots. Working together as a community they are able to combine their harvests to create a large enough volume to be sold to buyers. Our importers Cofinet collaborate with other small coffee companies, Occicafe Colombia and Globalcafe, to establish a direct relationship with the farmers and have better control of the quality.
Grown in an region blessed with volcanic soil and optimum rainfall that allow arabica cultivars to flourish. This creates a coffee that is bold and delicious and with notes of plum, caramel and nutmeg this really is a moreish brew.
