LULO Coffee - Inspired by Place, Driven by People
Founded in 2020 and based in Ottawa, we roast, deliver and brew delectable specialty coffee directly from friends in Costa Rica + Colombia.
The company came to life through connections formed naturally through travel and adventure.
Those connections are the heart and soul of LULO and we aim to pass a little of the adventure on in each coffee and cup we serve.
We're passionate about quality - importing each coffee fresh from the farm and roasting in small, precise batches.
We believe that the best coffees come from a supply chain in which everyone is stoked to be a part of it, and we are happy to offer you just that.
Nasa U'Y Honey Anaerobic Aruzi
Delicate, elegant, juicy and incredibly sweet. Fresh blackberry, sweet apricot, articulate florals which bring jasmine and coffee blossom to mind. Balanced acidity and a crisp mouthfeel.
This is an Ethiopian landrace variety that was thought to be yellow bourbon until just last year. The aruzi variety came straight from Ethiopia about 20 years ago, although details are sparse. Aruzi, or aruzi bourbon found its home in Southern Colombia, particularly Cauca.
The cup profile definitely supports this new revelation, being so abundantly floral and tea-like.
This offering is grown in naturally shaded conditions and produced organically, with no certification. Cherry maturation is slowed, allowing for an abundance of sugars to develop before an extended drying period, which increases complexity in the cup. The Liz-Andela family take great care of their land, and the favour is returned in fantastic coffees like this one.
LULO breaks down their roasts into three distinct series: Peaks, Pillars, and Bedrock.
The Peaks Series is fun, fruity, and floral. Peaks are the coffees that make cups sparkle.
Coming from the very same farms (sometimes varieties) as the Pillar coffees, Peaks are where the talented people we work with really find their style and expression with bespoke varieties and nuanced, thorough processing.
So come on, the view is nice from the Peak.
