the colombia chili bourbon grand cru from french truck coffee is a single-origin bourbon varietal grown in huila, colombia, one of the country's most respected coffee-producing departments. it undergoes anaerobic processing, where the coffee cherries ferment in a low-oxygen environment before drying, a method that tends to concentrate sweetness and deepen flavor complexity. the result here leans into caramel, making it a smooth, dessert-friendly cup. brew it as a pour-over or french press to let that sweetness come through cleanly, keeping water temperature around 200°f and a medium-coarse grind to avoid masking the caramel character with bitterness.
