Washed processed, scored SCA 83 plus, and well-sorted to screen 17\/18 (52%) and 15\/16 (48%), this lot delivers a dense, structured cup built around cocoa, walnut, pepper, spice, and lime — a bold, savory profile with medium-high citric acidity and a dense coating body that makes it a strong and reliable base for espresso blends and dark roast programs. Density at 1,052 g\/L confirms high bean density suited to even development at production roasting scale. Cenicafé 1, Castillo, and Colombia varieties, 1,200 to 1,800 masl.

Coffee grown in the elevated areas around Valledupar and the adjacent Norte de Santander department benefits from the Sierra Nevada's unique microclimate, where altitude, proximity to the Caribbean, and mineral-rich volcanic soils combine to produce a distinct cup character. At 1,200 to 1,800 metres above sea level the slower cherry maturation concentrates cocoa, walnut, and spice character into the bean in a way that sets this region apart from the more widely traded Huila and Nariño appellations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem;\"\u003eThis lot is sourced through the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia — the FNC — Colombia's national coffee producer organisation founded in 1927, representing over 500,000 coffee-growing families. FNC sourcing provides Colombia's most rigorous institutional traceability and quality documentation. The washed process is the traditional and dominant method across Colombian coffee production, removing the cherry skin and mucilage before drying to produce a clean, transparent cup where the terroir and varietal character come through with precision. The cocoa, walnut, pepper, and lime profile of this lot reflects both the northeastern Colombian terroir and the clean clarity of the washed process at SCA 83 plus quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eThe density reading of 1,052 g\/L is high for a washed Colombian lot at this altitude range, indicating well-developed beans with concentrated internal structure. For commercial roasteries building espresso blends, this density translates directly to consistent batch development and reliable extraction performance — a green coffee that behaves predictably across large production runs. The well-sorted screen sizes (17\/18 at 52% and 15\/16 at 48%) further reinforce the physical consistency that production-scale roasting requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- SPECIFICATIONS --\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 0.5px solid #e0ddd8;

The Colombia Betulia is a high-altitude lot scoring above SCA 85 with lime and sugarcane character. This Valledupar washed lot has a distinctly different character — cocoa, walnut, pepper, and spice with a dense coating body and medium-high citric acidity. It is positioned for espresso and darker roast programs where the bold, structured profile adds depth and coating body to blends, rather than as a lighter single origin filter coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 0.25rem;\"\u003eWhy is the density of 1,052 g\/L important for espresso roasting at scale?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem;\"\u003eDensity directly affects how a green coffee absorbs heat during roasting. Higher density beans absorb heat more slowly and require more energy to develop evenly — but they also develop more consistently across large batches because the bean structure holds together better through the development phase. At 1,052 g\/L this Valledupar washed lot is dense enough that commercial roasteries can expect reliable, repeatable results across production runs without the batch-to-batch variability that lower-density lots can introduce. For espresso programs where shot consistency is critical, green coffee density is one of the most important physical variables to consider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 0.25rem;\"\u003eWhat is Valledupar as a coffee origin?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem;\"\u003eValledupar is the capital of the César department in northeastern Colombia, situated at the foot of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta — the world's highest coastal mountain range. Coffee grown in the elevated growing areas around Valledupar and the adjacent Norte de Santander department is less commercially prominent than Huila or Nariño but produces a distinctive cup character shaped by the Sierra Nevada microclimate and volcanic soils. The region's geographical isolation from the more commercially trafficked Colombian coffee corridors means its lots are less commonly available in the Canadian green coffee market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 0.25rem;\"\u003eHow should I store this green coffee?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eStore in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture. Green coffee is stable for 12 to 18 months in correct storage conditions. We ship all our green coffee in 9 layer hermetic Ecotact bags to preserve moisture content and the aromatic character of this lot between roasting sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"United Beans","offers":[{"title":"1 LB","offer_id":52635939373339,"sku":"UB5-002A","price":17.55,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 LB - $16.67 per LB | save 5%","offer_id":52635939406107,"sku":"UB5-002B","price":41.68,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 LB - $14.92 per LB | save 15%","offer_id":52635939438875,"sku":null,"price":149.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 LB - $12.28 per LB | save 30%","offer_id":52635939471643,"sku":"UB5-002C","price":184.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 LB - $11.41 per LB | save 35%","offer_id":52635939504411,"sku":null,"price":342.3,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Larger volume | Contact us hello@unitedbeans.ca","offer_id":52635939537179,"sku":null,"price":11.41,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/2403\/1515\/files\/FederationColombiaCoffeeWashed.png?v=1784680197","url":"https:\/\/unitedbeans.ca\/products\/colombia-valledupar-washed-green-coffee-beans","provider":"United Beans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
