you'll taste winey before jasmine. this is colombia | reinaldo chilito, a washed colombia from ilse coffee.
it has a winey quality alongside jasmine and general floral notes, a profile that sits between fruit-forward and delicate. the washed process keeps things clean and well-defined in the cup.
it is grown in colombia by reinaldo chilito using pink bourbon and bourbon varietals, and it is processed using the washed method, meaning the coffee cherry is removed before the beans are dried.
filter brewing methods such as v60 or chemex suit washed coffees well, as they emphasise clarity and allow the floral and winey notes to come through cleanly. a medium-fine grind and water around 93-94°c is a reliable starting point.
