san bernardo is a natural-processed colombian coffee from the tolima region, grown with caturra and typica varieties. the natural process, where the cherry dries around the bean, produces a distinctly savoury, earthy cup with caramel sweetness alongside mushroom-like depth, an unusual combination that suits drinkers who find fruity naturals too sweet. it rewards slower brew methods like french press or filter that give the denser, savoury flavours time to develop fully. worth trying as a filter before pushing it through espresso.
