colombia coffee
by mill city roasters · minneapolis, usa
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is colombia - cauca gran galope, washed, a washed colombia from mill city roasters.
it leads with bright citrus, lemon and grapefruit, alongside red apple and jasmine florals, then settles into milk chocolate and dark chocolate in the finish. the washed process keeps the cup clean and well-defined across those flavors.
it comes from the cauca region of colombia and is processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed from the cherry before the beans are dried. this typically results in a cleaner, more transparent cup that emphasizes the coffee's inherent acidity and floral character.
filter methods like pour-over or aeropress work well here, as they preserve the clean, bright qualities that washed processing and a lighter roast produce. use water just off the boil and a medium-fine grind to let the citrus and floral notes express clearly without over-extraction.
