Colombia Lote 3 Lot 2

Coffee overview

An almost "boring washed Caturra" from producer Miller Sarmiento in Santa Maria, Huila, this lot was yeast inoculated for its 36-hour fermentation before washing and drying to meet its 10.5% moisture target. The inoculation adds a bit of cream in the finish of an otherwise juicy and vibrant cup, and is classically washed Huila.

Coffee flavor profile

Raspberry, green apple, honey.

Acidity: tart
Sweetness: malic, punchy

Rest: 15-20 days recommended

Filter: A ratio of 1:16.7, updosed, and coarser grind targeting "middle" extraction goals such as 1.4 TDS and 22% EY are where this coffee shine. Its light roast profile should make for easy brewing and success across various methods.

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