Summary
A very complex coffee that helps me understand why Colombia is one of the most highly praised coffee-growing regions in the world.
Offers a little bit of everything in terms of its flavor profile, though, probably more dark notes than sweet, fruity notes. This is a coffee I’d describe as “blue collar” Specialty Coffee (the more ridiculous the description, the better).
