Description
This Supremo is coming from the area around the city of Amaga. Population of 30000 sitting at 5200 feet above sea level, nestled in the Northern Andes. Prime coffee growing territory.
This is a nice and fresh, large bean screen (Supremo), aggregate production coffee. This type of production gives the taste of the land (terroir), many small coffee farmers from the area are combined together to create this offering.
On average, each producer cultivates their coffee on 3 acres of land. Coffee producers use their own micro-mill to process harvested cherries, which allows for meticulous care in depulping, fermenting, and drying the coffee. Federacion Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia, an exporter dedicated to supporting small producers, collaborates with these producers improving their access to international markets.
Tasting Notes: Low acidity and fuller bodied this cup shows the classic spirit of Colombian coffee. A little hint of acidity at the light roast points but risks some grassy tones. Medium roasts are great and contain that classic dry toasted walnut tone with a little jazzy spice note. Darker roasts turn a bit more bakers chocolate versus smoky with just a hint of a nutty accent.
Roasting Notes: An easy to roast coffee, good from a strong medium roast to as dark as you want to go. Light roasts come off a little grassy and under developed but as you creep towards a medium roast you get very nice classic Colombian toasted walnut and spice tones.
