Colombia El Jardin
Coffee overview
Last batch roasted 6/21/24
An intense cup full of juicy fruits, this "boring washed Caturra" is anything but. Producer Jorge Rojas has refined his processing methods to a science. This lot was fermented once "held in cherry" before depulping and fermented again before continuing the washed process. This cup tip-toes into processing-forward notes but never really tips over.
Coffee flavor profile

Recommended brewing
Filter: The Gabi 'standard' recipe of 1:18 is a little too much for this coffee especially in the finish. We prefer a 1:17 ratio, slightly coarser grind that brings the notes together into a juicy package that finishes clean.
We use 60 hardness, 20 buffer water heated to 198F in all of our recipes.
