pitalito is a washed colombian coffee from magnífico coffee roasters. sourced from the pitalito region of colombia, it goes through a washed process, which strips away the fruit before drying and tends to produce a cleaner, more defined cup. the primary tasting note is caramel, expect a smooth, sweet character with good clarity. because washed coffees reward precision, a pour-over or filter method will highlight that clean sweetness, though it will also work well as an espresso if you prefer a shorter, more concentrated caramel-forward drink.
