guanabana is a decaf caturra from huila, colombia, processed using anaerobic co-fermentation and a washed finish. the controlled fermentation step shapes a noticeably fruit-forward cup, with red apple, peach, and broader stone fruit alongside tropical fruit notes, then settling into milk and dark chocolate on the finish. because it is a decaf, extraction is a little more forgiving, but it rewards careful temperature control. filter methods, pour-over or batch brew, tend to keep the fruit clarity cleanest, while espresso pulls out the chocolate body more prominently.

common questions

What does GUANABANA: Colombia Co-Ferment Washed taste like?

expect red apple, peach, and stone fruit up front, supported by tropical fruit notes, with milk chocolate and dark chocolate rounding out the finish. the anaerobic co-fermentation process pushes the fruit character further than a standard washed colombia would.

How is GUANABANA: Colombia Co-Ferment Washed grown and processed?

it is a caturra varietal grown in huila, colombia, and processed using anaerobic co-fermentation before a washed finish, which means the cherries undergo oxygen-limited fermentation prior to pulping and clean drying. it is also a decaf coffee.

How should I brew GUANABANA: Colombia Co-Ferment Washed?

filter brewing, such as pour-over or batch drip, keeps the fruit notes clear and well-defined, while espresso will emphasise the chocolate tones. as a decaf, it is forgiving across brew methods, so adjust grind and temperature to taste rather than following strict rules.
