Holiday Filter Set

DIRECT TRADE COFFEE

2 bags of Holiday Filter Coffee (Value of $50)

This year's Holiday Single Origin Filter comes to us from Colombia Las Mercedes. And our Holiday Filter Roast is a direct-trade coffee from Peru. 

1. Holiday Single Origin Filter:

From the hills of Huila, Colombia, this exceptional Las Mercedes lot offers a delicate and balanced cup. Expect notes of pear, honey, and jasmine, with a soft sweetness and elegant floral finish.

Lightly roasted to highlight its natural clarity and brightness, this coffee captures the gentle warmth and joy of the holiday season — a perfect companion for slow winter mornings.

1. Holiday Filter Roast: Roasted for a medium filter profile, it opens with notes of red apple and toffee, complemented by a smooth roasted-hazelnut finish. The cup is clean, balanced and sweet, offering a comforting yet vibrant expression of Peru’s mountain terroir.

The Holiday Filter Set, curated by 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters, offers a balanced profile characterized by the roaster as both fruity and nutty. As a washed-process coffee, this selection highlights the inherent qualities of the bean by removing the fruit flesh before drying, a technique that often results in a clean, crisp cup profile. For those interested in how different techniques influence the final brew, our processing methods explainer provides a deeper look at why washed coffees are frequently prized for their clarity and consistency.

When evaluating the specific nuances of this set, drinkers may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the interplay between its fruity brightness and nutty undertones. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their ability to showcase terroir, the specific experience of this Holiday Filter Set remains a testament to the careful roasting standards maintained by the team at 49th Parallel.
