Excelso refers to a Colombian export grade defined by screen size, slightly smaller than Supremo, but still high quality. The “EP” stands for European Preparation, meaning the beans are hand-sorted to remove defects and impurities, ensuring clean, consistent lots.
This coffee is fully washed, processed with traditional wet-mill methods, delivering a clean cup profile. Grown across diverse regions, such as Antioquia, Caldas, Valle del Cauca, Huila, Cauca, and Santander. Excelso brings together smallholder lots offering a unified, dependable flavor profile year-round.
Although “Excelso” is not tied to a specific farm or region, its consistent size and quality make it a mainstay in Colombian coffee exports, ideal for roasters who value uniformity and classic regional character.
