el placer ipa is a colombian coffee from kb coffee roasters, built around pink bourbon and bourbon varietals processed using anaerobic fermentation. that extended, oxygen-limited ferment concentrates sugars and shapes the cup toward honey and honeycomb, giving it a notably sweet, waxy character with a lingering finish. because the anaerobic process amplifies delicate fruit and sugar-driven notes, it responds well to brew methods that preserve sweetness without adding bitterness. keep water temperature on the lower side, around 90 to 93 celsius, and aim for a clean, controlled pour-over or a well-dialed filter to let those honey tones come through clearly.
common questions
What does Colombie - El Placer IPA taste like?
the cup leads with honey and honeycomb, a sweet, waxy sweetness that comes from the combination of pink bourbon and bourbon varietals and the anaerobic processing method. expect a smooth, sugary profile rather than a sharp or fruit-forward one.
How is Colombie - El Placer IPA grown and processed?
it is grown in colombia using pink bourbon and bourbon varietals, then processed anaerobically, meaning the coffee ferments in a sealed, oxygen-free environment before drying. this method intensifies sweetness and shapes the distinctive honey character in the cup.
How should I brew Colombie - El Placer IPA?
a filter or pour-over method works well here, using water around 90 to 93 celsius to highlight the honey and honeycomb sweetness without pushing bitterness. keep your grind consistent and avoid over-extraction, as anaerobic coffees can turn heavy or muddled if brewed too hot or too long.
