Colombia Efren Rodriguez

Coffee overview

A new name to us, we don't know much about Efren Rodriguez or his farm. But he created a very nice washed Pink Bourbon here, and one that displays some overtly malic qualities along with a nice amount of florality in the finish.

Brewing evaluation

Rest: 40+ days recommended

Filter eval day 1: Gabi Standard Recipe of 1:18 - An interesting cup day one, primarily soft acidity that doesn't display typical Pink Bourbon qualities until cool, plenty of jammy sweetness however, and soft florals in the finish. Feel like a closed up cup waiting for extended rest.

TDS: 1.33 EY: 22.08%

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