Wake up to a bright, balanced Colombian single origin. Grown in the high-altitude soil of Cauca, this micro-lot delivers a crisp, vibrant cup that anchors your morning espresso routine with crisp, clean flavour.
It leads with clean notes of juicy tropical fruit and fresh orange clarity, then settles effortlessly into a smooth, creamy milk chocolate base. Whether brewed black to showcase its sparkling citric acidity or poured with milk for a rich, rounded finish, every cup highlights the remarkable renewal of the Villa Aroma estate.
Cleared and restored in 2020 by the Campo Figueroa family, the Villa Aroma estate was carefully replanted and nurtured under Colombian farming standards. This release represents their very first official harvest.
Roasted to achieve complete profile harmony. The bright citrus notes shine cleanly on filter and pour-over, while the milk chocolate base easily cuts through milk for a sweet, comforting morning cup.
Grown from 100% Castillo trees and processed using traditional washing methods, this release brings out the true soil and microclimate profile of the Cauca region in every brew.
What started as a chat between two University of Queensland engineering students quickly turned into a real-world mission. Cristian and Taaj bonded over great coffee in Brisbane and shared a dream of bringing beans directly from Cristian’s home region of Cauca to Australia.
When a neglected piece of land came up for sale near Cristian’s family home, they jumped at the chance. Four years ago, the hillsides of Villa Aroma were overgrown and abandoned following years of local conflict. Cristian’s father Arnoldo helped coordinate family and friends to secure the property, clear the land, and plant new coffee trees under the guidance of local farming experts.
After four years of hard work, careful land restoration, and regular audits by the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia, Villa Aroma has produced its inaugural harvest. We are proud to partner with Cristian and Taaj to bring this debut micro-lot straight to your cup.

We sat down with Taaj and Cristian to get their personal brew recommendations. Taaj prefers his as a straight espresso, while Cristian goes for an iced long black to handle the Brisbane humidity.
