san bernardo is a natural-process colombian coffee from the tolima region, grown with caturra and typica varietals. the natural process, where the cherry dries around the bean, tends to concentrate sugars and deepen body, which shows here in caramel sweetness alongside an unusual mushroom-savoury quality that makes this a more complex, less fruit-forward cup than typical colombians. it suits filter brewing, where those distinct flavours can develop clearly without espresso pressure masking the savoury edge. a good choice if you want something that moves away from bright acidity toward richer, earthier sweetness.
