Colombia produces coffee year-round, but not every month is the same. The Colombian coffee harvest calendar has peaks that depend on the region, altitude, and rainfall. In June, several coffee-growing areas in Antioquia and the Coffee Region are in full swing, which means that fresh single-origin beans arrive at Cofy Club at their absolute best.
For anyone who wants to learn more about Colombian coffee beyond the brand name on the package, June in Medellín is the perfect time to visit.
Why June Is a Special Month for Colombian Coffee
Colombian coffee has two main harvests per year, depending on the region. In Antioquia, the department where Medellín is located, June marks the start of the second-half harvest in several subregions. This translates to fresh beans, more expressive cup profiles, and a selection of single-origin varieties that aren’t always available the rest of the year.
At Cofy Club, the Café Hotel’s restaurant, the coffee served doesn’t come from a generic supplier. It comes from a selection of single-origin Colombian beans, artfully roasted right in the hotel. In June, that selection is updated with beans from the new harvest, which means this month’s coffee tastings in Medellín have something special to offer: true freshness in the cup.
What is single-origin coffee, and why does it matter?
Single-origin coffee is coffee that can be traced back to its specific place of production. It is not a generic blend. It has a specific farm, municipality, variety, and processing method. This allows the taster to identify characteristics not found in commercial coffee: fruity acidity, floral notes, a distinctive body, and a cane-like sweetness.
In Colombia, single-origin coffee has a unique richness because the country’s microclimates produce radically different flavor profiles across regions. A coffee from southwestern Antioquia doesn’t taste the same as one from Huila or Nariño. And in June, with fresh beans from the new harvest, those differences are even more pronounced.
The single-origin coffee experience offered by Café Hotel in El Poblado is built on this principle: getting to know the bean, understanding its origin, and tasting it in a brew that highlights its unique characteristics.
What Cofy Club Has to Offer in June
New-crop espresso
The house double espresso is made with the hotel’s signature blend, roasted right here in the building. In June, that blend incorporates beans from the new harvest, which bring freshness and a more vibrant flavor profile than beans that have been in storage for months.
Guided Colombian coffee tastings
Cofy Club hosts guided coffee tastings where participants learn about coffee varieties, roasting processes, and brewing methods. In June, these tastings have the added benefit of featuring fresh beans with seasonal profiles. You don’t need to be a barista or a coffee connoisseur to participate. The tasting is designed for those who are curious, not for those who already know everything.
Traditional preparation methods
Cofy Club uses precise brewing methods that allow the beans to express their full character without interference. French press, V60, Chemex. Each method produces a different cup experience with the same beans, making the choice of method part of the experience.
Artisanal almond milk
For those who prefer their coffee with milk, Cofy Club uses artisanal almond milk in its espressos. Its silky texture complements the coffee without overpowering it, making it particularly effective with the more delicate flavor profiles of the new harvest coffees.
Colombian coffee as a travel experience
Every year, Medellín welcomes travelers who come specifically for the coffee. The city’s specialty coffee scene has been growing steadily, and El Poblado is home to some of the best spots.
Café Hotel occupies a unique position within that ecosystem: it’s not a specialty coffee shop that also offers rooms. It’s a hotel where coffee is part of its very DNA—from its name to its daily operations. That consistency between concept and experience is what makes a tasting at Cofy Club feel not like a tourist activity but like a natural part of the stay.
The coffee ritual as a daily practice at Café Hotel explores this philosophy in greater depth and provides context for what the hotel means by coffee culture.
