Colombia El Silencio SL28

Coffee overview

An effervescent texture leads the way on this SL28 lot from El Silencio, and one that contrasts wholly from our other offering from this farm. This coffee is vibrant and full of fruity and tart flavors, with a bubbly mouthfeel throughout. A very fun compliment to the Pink Bourbon. This coffee is much more akin to its process.

Coffee flavor profile

Grape soda, pomegranate, hops.

Acidity: tartaric, effervescent
Sweetness: tart
Body: bubbly

Filter: Similar to the El Silencio Pink Bourbon, this coffee is quite fun across a variety of approaches. We like to lean into the bubbles and EY min this coffee for maximum juiciness. 

We use 60 hardness, 20 buffer water heated to 198F in all of our recipes.
