colombia palo de rosa is a caturra varietal grown in huila, a region in southern colombia known for its high-altitude farms and consistent cup quality. it's processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and tends to produce cleaner, more defined acidity. at a medium roast, the result is a bright, structured coffee with grapefruit citrus and jasmine floral notes. the clean profile makes it well-suited to filter brewing, where those lighter, more delicate characteristics come through clearly. a pour over or drip setup at around 93, celsius will let the acidity and floral aromatics read without interference.
