sourced directly from the cauca region of colombia, this popayan reserve is built on caturra and typica varietals, two of the more traditional cultivars found across latin america. mt atkinson coffee roasts it to bring out caramel sweetness alongside milk chocolate and darker cocoa tones, making it a straightforward, comforting cup rather than a bright or fruity one. the direct trade sourcing means the supply chain is short and the green coffee quality is closely managed. it suits brew methods that let sweetness come forward, filter and espresso both work well here, with water around 93 degrees celsius and a medium-fine grind as a reliable starting point.
