Blue Volcano, a 100% arabica coffee, is grown on the mountainous terrain of Colombia. Hand-picked, fully washed and dried. Bursting with flavour, this resident Black Sheep Coffee bean will not disappoint. The versatile nature of Blue Volcano allows  for both a delicious espresso based and filter coffee.
