Oh precious Colombia. The “Holy Grail” of coffee growing, and our best selling single-origin. We offer a Colombian coffee year round, and this time we are switching it up with a coffee from San Sebastian, in western Colombia. You may not have a golden chalice to drink this coffee from, but it for sure deserves the best treatment in your favorite mug.

About San Sebastian of Colombia
From our importers Cofinet: This coffee is produced by small holder growers in Inzá municipality on the western side of Cauca. This region is 80% inhabited by the indigenous tribe called Paeces. Through our friends from Occicafe and Globalcafe, we have a direct relationship with the farmers and have better control on the quality. Farmers own small parcels of land (average size of the farm is 0.5 to 1.5 hectares) where they grow coffee at 1700 masl, and the crops are mainly Castillo and Caturra varieties.

Our coffee expert
Aubrey Mills
6+ years experience as Coffee Taster, Wholesale Director, barista and Coffee Quality Director.
Aubrey Mills is steeped in coffee. Not literally, of course, but since 2013, she’s been preparing and tasting coffee for a career. Initially as a barista at the Portland, OR Insomnia Coffee and Dapper & Wise, her job was to stay on top of quality and help customers find coffees they were excited about. This involved tasting all the coffees they’d be serving that day, dialing in espresso or approve a drip recipe.
She soon became Director of Wholesale at Dapper & Wise, where she regularly cupped at quality control cuppings with the team, hosted cuppings for the public and trained wholesale partners on proper coffee preparation. In the role of helping to maintain Dapper & Wise’s menu of diverse flavor profiles, roast levels and processing methods, Aubrey also visited coffee producing countries. She says, “Traveling to origin and experiencing the beginning of the coffee journey has given me greater perspective for how many variables can impact flavor in the final cup.”
Along with her on-point palate and killer coffee know-how, Aubrey brings creativity, sparkle and grace to everything she does, actively looking for opportunities to showcase the value of specialty coffee and address sustainability issues in the industry.

"This coffee presents as really mellow but has some really juicy flavors if you slow down and enjoy it. I taste chocolate bundt cake, nectarine and orange marmalade. The finish is long and dry with a slick body. "
Mad Priest Coffee
To curious people who are sick of the bland, corporate & “heretical” coffee experience, Mad Priest Coffee Roasters is the unconventional, creative, “sacred” coffee choice. While we may sometimes be irreverent, we always take our coffee and our mission seriously. That’s because we are mad about injustice, especially societal inequality...and bad coffee.
Mad Priest Coffee Roasters began in 2015 as a small-batch specialty coffee roasting company + a social enterprise with the mission to “craft excellent coffee, educate the curious, champion the displaced” and we currently operate our roastery and retail locations in Chattanooga, TN. From the beginning, our goal has been to run a sustainable, for-profit business with a triple bottom line that includes social and environmental goals alongside the economic ones. And most of all, we want to create the best product that wins awards -- and make that product accessible to curious people from every race and culture.
Get Mad. Stay Blessed.
