colombia coffee
by rigby roastery · austin, usa
you'll taste milk chocolate before dark chocolate. this is ombligon coffee nestor lasso, an experimental colombia from rigby roastery.
the tasting notes are milk chocolate and dark chocolate, giving it a sweet, cocoa-forward character. it sits on the more approachable, dessert-like end of the spectrum rather than being fruity or acidic.
it's grown in huila, colombia, and is a blend of five varietals: gesha, caturra, pink bourbon, pacamara, and bourbon. it's been put through an experimental process, meaning something beyond a standard washed or natural method was used in post-harvest handling.
a filter brew method such as pour-over or french press is a good starting point, as these allow the character from the experimental processing to come through clearly. keep your water temperature around 90-94°c to avoid over-extracting the chocolate notes into bitterness.
and then you remember what espresso should actually taste like. rigby roastery sits on east austin's sixth street, pulling shots that make you wonder why you've been settling for mediocre coffee elsewhere. the regulars here aren't just being loyal for loyalty's sake. they know good espresso when they taste it. you walk in and the place feels serious about coffee without being precious about it. no theatrical pouring rituals or lengthy explanations of flavor notes. just consistently excellent espresso that doesn't need to announce itself. the kind of place where people order their second shot before finishing their first. when you find espresso this good, everything else starts tasting flat by comparison. order it straight, no milk to hide behind.
