ximena cifuentes is a washed colombian coffee from café even, sourced from the nariño region in the south of colombia. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, which keeps the cup clean and lets the bean's natural character show clearly. expect red apple acidity up front, a winey quality through the middle, and caramel sweetness on the finish. that brightness and clarity suit filter brewing well, pour-over or batch filter with water around 93-94°c, though it will also reward a well-dialed espresso if you enjoy a more structured, fruit-forward shot.
