la virgen is a washed caturra from huila, colombia, roasted to a medium-dark level by artisan roast on broughton street. the washed process keeps the cup clean and bright, letting the citrus character, lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, come through clearly alongside red apple acidity. milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond sit underneath, adding body and a slightly bitter edge that the medium-dark roast emphasises. that balance of citrus and chocolate makes it a good fit for filter methods where the brighter notes can open up, though the body and roast level also hold their own as espresso.
common questions
What does La Virgen taste like?
expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front, with red apple acidity, then milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond rounding out the finish.
How is La Virgen grown and processed?
it is a caturra varietal grown in the huila region of colombia and processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and produces a clean, clearly defined cup.
How should I brew La Virgen?
the medium-dark roast suits both filter and espresso, filter brewing will highlight the citrus and apple acidity, while espresso will lean into the chocolate and almond depth.
