piña colada is a caturra lot from huila, colombia, processed using an experimental co-fermentation method before washing. co-fermentation involves introducing additional ingredients or cultures during the fermentation stage, which in this case is designed to push the coffee toward tropical fruit character. the result is a cup that leans into those fruit-forward flavors rather than the cleaner, more restrained profile typical of standard washed colombians. because the process is experimental and the fruit notes are the main event, brewing methods that preserve clarity and sweetness, such as pour-over or aeropress, will help you taste what the fermentation is doing. use filtered water around 93-95°c and a medium-fine grind as a starting point.
