Colombian coffee

Colombia boasts, consistently, some of the most excellent and approachable coffees in the world. Americans in particular are dispositioned to Colombian coffee because of its proximity to the US, and also how sweet the coffee is perceived to be. We call that “acidity”, but its perceived as sweetness. Let’s be honest, Americans have a bit of a sweet tooth, and this beautiful coffee is a hard one to mess up. There is intense flavor, but if you let the coffee cool off to room temperature, there some some fruity and delicate notes that emerge. You will notice how much fruit notes are in the cup as the coffee cools off.

Las Garzas - "the herons"

The terroir (earth and the environment its in) and the altitude of Colombia is suited perfectly for the production of coffee plants. At these elevations, coffee plants thrive, and the cooler climate allows the beans to ripen slowly, absorbing more sugars and developing complex flavor profiles. There is some difficulty in farming such dramatic elevation and hillsides, but the well draining, volcanic soils, along with warm days and cool nights are perfect conditions for growing amazing plants. The richness and composition of these particular volcanic mountains give Colombian coffee a certain flavor profile that feels heavier (more velvety) than it tastes (juicy and fruity).

Las Garzas means "the herons" and is what the farmers call this naturally processed, community lot situated on the 3rd highest mountain in Colombia. It will give you wings to soar to the highest heights of your day!

Brew method: French press
Grind method: Blade grinder
Flavor notes: Nutty, Fruity, Bold and roasty
Strength: Light & easy
Mouthfeel: Light and clean

This brew is a masterclass in understated elegance. While so many coffees scream for attention with aggressive acidity or heavy-handed roasting, this one opts for a refined, nutty composure. It is remarkably toasty and mellifluous, possessing a mild temperament that makes it almost dangerously approachable. It’s the kind of "no-frills" experience that demands to be enjoyed in its purest form, entirely unadulterated. Whether served piping hot or chilled over ice, it requires no cream, no sugar, and certainly no apologies. It is complete as it stands.
​Despite its savory, toasted core, there is a surprising succulence to the cup. It manages to be both fruity and juicy, yet it cleverly avoids the sharp, vibrant sourness that typically accompanies such a bright flavor profile. Instead of a stinging citrus, you get a rounded, mellow sweetness that lingers without overstaying its welcome. It is essentially the quintessential daily companion: sophisticated enough for the connoisseur, yet effortless enough for the casual afternoon.

Brew method: Pour over

Natty C is super juicy with great clarity, but maintains enough body that traditional coffee drinkers will recognize it. Too bad it’s seasonal, because I think k it’s the perfect daily driver. You can make it for anyone and it’s bright enough to show trad coffee drinkers what great coffee is capable of, while still feeling like home. I’m gonna miss this batch :(. Below is my personal fav way to v60 it.

Nailed it - great flavor

This seasonal coffee was as good as Peaberry you introduced earlier. It is a nice mild flavor and a change from my forever favorite Wild Child.
