This varietal is teeming with possibilities. It's a classic washed-mild, modern-processed, estate-grown Colombian - so sweet with lovely flavors, the aroma displays a pleasant, subtle spiciness. Inconspicuous undertones of ambrosial caramel, a balanced body, and a clean finish. The slightly sweet, caramel notes and light fruitiness combine perfectly with the lively 'new crop' acidity - exactly what we've come to expect from an exceptional Columbian.
Light- to medium-bodied, this is a considerably smoother cup than it's other Latin American brothers. With sweet flavor notes touching on walnut and milk chocolate, the cup is delightfully crisp, surprisingly clean, and extraordinarily well-defined.
There's a reason why Colombian coffees of this caliber so swiftly carved out a niche in the specialty coffee marketplace. Chances are, your first specialty coffee was a Colombian, and this is one to indulge in nostalgically. We expect this roast to excite your taste buds, warm your heart, and ignite fond memories. Enjoy!
