estrella de navidad is a colombian coffee roasted by distinto cacao & coffee and put through an experimental process, which typically involves extended fermentation or unconventional post-harvest techniques to push the cup beyond what a washed or natural would produce. the result here leans into chocolate across the board, from the creamier, softer register of milk chocolate to the drier, more bitter edge of dark chocolate. it's a good pick if you want something with depth and sweetness without bright fruit. pull it as an espresso or in a french press to let that heavier body carry through.
common questions
What does Estrella de Navidad taste like?
it tastes of milk chocolate and dark chocolate, giving it a range that moves from sweet and creamy to slightly bitter and rich. there's no noted fruit or floral character, so expect a grounded, cocoa-forward cup.
How is Estrella de Navidad grown and processed?
it's grown in colombia and processed using an experimental method, meaning it goes beyond standard washed or natural techniques, often involving controlled fermentation or other unconventional steps. the specific details of the process haven't been disclosed beyond that label.
How should I brew Estrella de Navidad?
no single brew method is specified, but the chocolate-heavy profile suits espresso, moka pot, or french press, all of which emphasise body and sweetness over clarity. if you prefer filter, a lower temperature around 90, 92 degrees celsius can help avoid over-extracting the darker, bitter notes.
