Methodical Landmark celebrates the heritage of washed processed Colombian coffees.

For 300 years, Colombia has been cultivating coffee and currently stands as the third largest coffee producing country, second largest of arabica production. To say they’ve had a hand in defining the classic cup of coffee is an understatement. We created Landmark for those who love the quintessential Colombian coffee and who are looking to enjoy that flavor profile year-round. Though the farm may change, Landmark will always be a single origin, washed processed, Colombian coffee with the signature Colombian flavor profile of caramel-like sweetness, warm baking spices, and light acidity.

El Puente

Currently, Landmark is coffee from the El Puente processing facility. El Puente is located in the small town of Palestina, which sits within the mountain range of one of Colombia’s most recognizable coffee-growing regions, Huila. Smallholder farmers bring their coffee cherries to El Puente for sorting and processing. Like all Landmark coffees, this coffee underwent Washed processing. And was processed by contributing producers at their farms. When purchasing Washed coffee from allied producers, El Puente pays a premium for cup quality and provides feedback on ways in which producers can improve their future lots. Processing begins with sorting freshly harvested cherries for ripeness. Sorted cherries are then depulped and washed before being fermented for 24–32 hours. The fermented coffee is then dried for 20–25 days before being taken to El Puente for milling, packaging, and export.
