colombia cauca gran galope is a washed single-origin coffee from the cauca region of colombia, roasted by mill city roasters. the washed process removes fruit before drying, which tends to produce a clean, bright cup, and that shows here: expect citrus-forward acidity from lemon and grapefruit, a crisp red apple note, and a floral jasmine quality. milk chocolate and dark chocolate provide balance in the finish. it suits filter methods that highlight clarity and acidity, such as pour-over or aeropress, where the lighter roast character and clean processing can come through without muddiness.
