colombia coffee
by pirates of coffee · mississauga, canada
you'll taste lemon before stone fruit. this is fxzzy peach: colombia co-ferment washed, a washed colombia from pirates of coffee.
it leads with lemon and peach, moves into broader stone fruit and a winey quality, and finishes with a dry, tea-like black tea note. the co-fermentation process amplifies the fruit character while the washed processing keeps the cup relatively clean and bright.
it is grown in colombia using caturra and bourbon varietals and processed as a co-ferment washed coffee, meaning the beans undergo a deliberate co-fermentation stage before the standard washed processing removes the fruit layers.
filter methods such as pour-over work well here, as the washed process produces a clarity that highlights the lemon acidity, peach, and tea finish without heaviness. keep your grind medium-fine and avoid very high brew temperatures, which can push the winey ferment notes into harshness.
