colombia excelso medium roast is a washed colombian coffee from java roastery, built on caturra and typica varietals. the washed process keeps things clean and well-defined, letting the citrus side come through clearly: lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front, with red apple adding a crisp fruit note. caramel and milk chocolate round the mid-palate, and a touch of dark chocolate shows up toward the finish. the medium roast sits in a balanced place, meaning it responds well across brew methods. filter brewing will sharpen the citrus and fruit, while espresso or a moka pot will push the caramel and chocolate forward.

about java roastery
