  • About Supernova | Colombia

    Supernova is our newest concept created to sit alongside our Nova blend. A medium-dark roast profile perfect for espresso brewing or if you enjoy a more well developed filter roast. Roasted to tame acidity while enhancing body and sweetness. We feature a range of different washed and honey-processed coffees throughout the year.

    This current version features a classic washed coffee from Tolima in Colombia. Grown on the Meseta de Popayán at 1,500–2,070m above sea level, this coffee comes from one of Colombia's most distinctive growing plateaus. Sheltered by the Andes mountain range, the region enjoys an unusually consistent climate and altitude across its farms — the kind of homogeneity that produces a reliably balanced cup, session after session.

    Volcanic ash soils, annual rainfall of 1,700–2,000mm, and a steady 19°C mean the cherries develop slowly and evenly. The result is a clean, approachable profile with floral brightness and caramel sweetness.

The Producer

Popayán, Cauca

This coffee is the work of around 65 smallholder growers farming the Meseta de Popayán in Colombia's Cauca department. Each contributes to a shared quality programme that rewards exceptional cherry with premiums of up to 20% above market price — an incentive that builds long-term relationships and keeps standards consistently high.

Coffee Origin

Colombia 🇨🇴

Colombia has been blessed with a perfect climate for coffee growing as it has a dozen micro-climates across thousands of miles, volcanic soil, and just a perfect amount of rain. Discover more about Colombian coffee.

Processing Method

Washed

The washed process is the traditional method where the fruit is removed from the bean after harvest using water and de-pulpers. The coffee is sometimes fermented to break down remaining sugars before being washed in grading channels and then dried. This results in a “clean” cup that highlights the bean’s inherent origin characteristics and bright acidity.

Coffee Varietal

Mixed Varietals

This coffee may include several different coffee varietals. On many farms, multiple cultivars are grown side-by-side and harvested together. In other cases, a coffee may be composed of several components selected to create a balanced flavour profile. Each varietal contributes its own characteristics to the final cup.

Super supernova

Another excellent, tasty coffee from Horsham Coffee Roaster. Lots of depth. I have been using it to make iced coffees in the heatwave - though the purists may not agree! Everything from this company has been a happy surprise - such good quality for the price.

Smooth and rich

A really nice blend for a more traditional espresso and great for milk drinks. It’s an easy coffee to dial in as well. For me though, the Nova blend is more to my taste.

Super Nova - super

Great ground for my drip machine or moka pot, French press or aeropress. Not sure how it could be better across the range. Probably the “if Carlesburg made all rounder coffee beans”….

I love nova and choose it as my main coffee each month, I love a dark roast and this one takes all the great things about nova and amplifies it, I really love the chocolate and molasses notes, a pleasurable drinking experience.

BRILLIANT ALL-ROUNDER

I am really impressed with this coffee. There are a lot of claims for coffees that are great for espresso and for long drinks but this is really beautiful. It is absolutely wonderful for both. I hope this becomes a permanent fixture. I would happily choose it as my favourite for both espresso and lungo's.

Great coffee

Really pleased with these beans, I found the best way for me was to grind fine and use my stove top, nice subtle taste with a pleasant aroma.

My new favourite coffee!

I love a strong but flavourful, aromatic coffee and Supernova ticks all those boxes! Despite it being a stronger blend, there is a sweet and chocolatey taste with none of the acidity you might find in other similar roasts. Supernova tastes just as good black as it does white and it’s definitely a coffee I’ll come back to. Another winning coffee from HCR!
