A land of extremes, Colombia boasts a range in geography from snow-capped mountain tops to dense forests that make up the entire southern half of the country.

Colombian coffee often shares a medium body, bright acidity, sweet cocoa aroma and notes of fruit and citrus.

Sourced from the renowned Colombia · Huila region, this offering from Cuvee Coffee highlights the classic profile of the Caturra varietal. Grown at 1900 masl, the beans undergo a washed process, a method typically employed to emphasize a clean cup profile and distinct acidity. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their brightness and clarity, this specific lot presents a unique departure from the expected, leaning into savory undertones and rich butterscotch sweetness.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to consult the flavor wheel to better categorize these nuanced characteristics. Because Caturra is a mutation of Bourbon, it is widely cultivated for its balance and adaptability, though its final expression is always deeply influenced by the specific microclimate of the Huila department. This selection serves as a compelling example of how traditional processing and varietal selection can yield unexpected, comforting flavor profiles.
