Our Coffees


AFRIQUE
Medium Roast
Earthy, Spicy, Heartfelt
A blend of distinctly unique coffees from farms in Central and East Africa. A true African blend, AFRIQUE serves as our tribute to the continent in which all great coffees were born. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of AFRIQUE is used to house, care, nourish and educate African children facing the challenges of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
* Exclusively available in our cafes.


MONTE CARLO
Decaffeinated
Smooth, Uncanny
The quintessential classic coffee with everything: rich flavor and aroma, full body and moderate acidity in perfect balance, yet without the caffeine. Few believe that a decaffeinated coffee can possess such qualities.
* Available online.


CORSICA
Dark Roast
Uncommon, Rich, Full
A bold coffee with an agreeable nature, much like the people of the island for which this coffee was named. We blend and roast CORSICA with the aim of bringing out the true undiluted flavor of dark coffee, highlighting richness and body, without the harsher earthy tastes often associated with hardier roasts.
* Available online.



PHOCEA
Medium Dark Roast
Thick, Generous, Lasting
Unforgettably dense, PHOCEA is best described as raw and full-bodied. When tasting PHOCEA, a remarkably generous coffee flavor concentrates on the back of the tongue.
* Available online.


MONACO
"A Perfect Roast"
Balanced, Broad, Exclusive
100% arabica selection from seven different origins. This full-bodied coffee is a true masterpiece. Each bean unveils itself as flavor widens throughout the cupping. Only MONACO reaches this level of perfection.
* Exclusively available in our cafes.


NIZZA
Medium Roast
Caramel, Nutty, Fragrant
A creamy, full-bodied, fragrant and sweet coffee, a blend in which we are particurlarly pleased. NIZZA is a tribute to the fine coffees of both Northern Italy and the South of France.
* Available online.


About Us
OUR HISTORY
La Colombe began as what many thought to be a pipe dream in the minds of two young friends, Todd Carmichael and Jean-Philippe Iberti, in Seattle circa 1985. It was there while working in coffee and attending college the pair gained an excited appreciation for the skills of traditional European coffee roasting and conceived of a coffee company dedicated to this endeavor. Philadelphia, PA - early 1994, thousands of miles from their home towns of Spokane, WA and Nice, France, the pair unveiled their brainchild and their five flagship blends. And so, La Colombe was born. In no time the coffees gained notice among the Notheast culinary elite and within weeks they were being served in the finest establisments.

OUR CAFES
Enter any La Colombe cafe and one immediately notices what is missing -- merchandizing and clutter: branded T-shirts, coffee mugs, CD's and lunch food. It is clear, first and foremost, that the focus is on coffee.

OUR WHOLESALE
While taste is what draws an establishment to La Colombe wholesale, what binds the relationship is the comfort of relying on a company that not only invests in the mechanics of their coffee program (brewers, etc.) but possesses the infrastructure necessary to support a strong emphasis on service, both in terms of training and mechanical care. La Colombe not only offers the best tasting coffee available, it is also a dedicated full service company.

THOUGHTS
An unapologetic devotion to tradition not trend -- a place where taste always trumps novelty. After all, what distinguishes a great coffee from the rest is not cyber-chatter or fad chasing, but something intimate experienced when ones lips meet the cup, something profoundly personal and honest.
