colombia coffee · cup of excellence
by unincorporated coffee roasters · los angeles, usa
you'll taste lemon before tropical fruit. this is farmers of guadalupe - 15 producers - huila, colombia, a washed colombia from unincorporated coffee roasters.
the cup leads with lemon and moves into tropical fruit, with the washed process keeping everything clean and well-defined. it's a bright, precise coffee rather than a heavy or syrupy one.
it's a caturra varietal grown by 15 producers in the guadalupe area of huila, colombia, and processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before drying to produce a cleaner, more transparent cup. the lot received a cup of excellence award.
filter brewing methods such as pour-over or aeropress suit this coffee well, as they preserve the clarity and acidity that washed processing and the caturra varietal bring to the cup. a medium-fine grind and water around 93c are a good starting point.
