finca el turpial is a colombian single-origin coffee from nariño, roasted by hermanos colombian coffee roasters in kings cross. nariño sits in colombia's far south, close to the ecuadorian border, where high altitude and cool temperatures slow cherry development. this lot is honey processed, meaning the skin is removed but some or all of the mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which tends to carry fruit sugars into the cup. the result here is honey and honeycomb throughout, with a sweetness that is sticky and direct rather than fruity or acidic. filter brewing, such as a v60 or chemex, will keep those clean, sweet characteristics clear and easy to read.
