colombia coffee
by pirates of coffee · mississauga, canada
you'll taste stone fruit before peach. this is fxzzy peach espresso: colombia co-ferment washed, a washed colombia from pirates of coffee.
it tastes of stone fruit and peach with a winey quality running underneath. the co-fermentation process amplifies those fruit-forward characteristics compared to a standard washed colombian.
it is grown in colombia using caturra and bourbon varietals, then put through a co-fermentation stage before being processed as a washed coffee. the washed finish keeps the cup relatively clean while the co-fermentation adds the pronounced fruit and winey notes.
the name and profile point toward espresso as the primary brew method, where the concentrated extraction highlights the peach and winey notes. it should also work as a short milk-based drink, though the fermentation character is best appreciated as a straight shot.
