Contreras, Colombia

contreras is a caturra lot from huila, colombia, roasted by oddkin coffee roasters and put through an experimental process, which typically means extended fermentation or other non-standard intervention beyond washed or natural. that processing shows up clearly in the cup: expect stone fruit and peach up front, tropical fruit sweetness through the mid-palate, and a honey, honeycomb finish that lingers. it suits brewing methods that highlight sweetness and clarity, so pour-over or aeropress are good starting points. grind medium-fine, use water around 90-93°c, and brew slowly to let the fruit character develop without turning sharp.
