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.
Finca Alcatraz Washed Chiroso - Peaks Series
This is one of the first harvests of Chiroso from Finca Alcatraz, and our very first time roasting the variety.
Chiroso first came to prominence in Urrao, Antioquia, Colombia roughly six or seven years ago, solidifying its position as a rare, sought-after variety when it won the Cup of Excellence in 2020. It's been found to have solely Ethiopian genetics and exhibits a unique cup profile similar to that of Gesha - floral, sweet, and tea-like.
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.
In the Cup
Oh my, what a treat this coffee is. Hyper clean, yet with an almost candy-like level of sweetness. A highly refined and expressive cup from start to finish.
Expect fruit reminiscent of lychee and raspberry. Sweet, sticky florals that bring elderflower to mind. A pronounced and inviting grapefruit acidity that becomes more prominent as the cup cools, providing a juicy mouthfeel. So complex and so delicious.
