This offering from producer Mariano Muñoz highlights the distinct character of the Caturra varietal grown in the high-altitude landscapes of Acevedo, Huila. As a staple of Colombian coffee production, Caturra is often celebrated for its balanced acidity and reliable cup profile. When roasted by Five Senses, this specific lot showcases a vibrant spectrum of fruit-forward characteristics, including notes of cherry, plum, and blood orange, rounded out by the deep sweetness of panela.

While individual lots vary based on processing and micro-climate, coffees from this region frequently exhibit a complex interplay between bright acidity and rich, sugary undertones. To better understand how these specific descriptors fit into the broader landscape of coffee quality and sensory evaluation, we encourage you to explore the flavor wheel. This coffee serves as a compelling example of the meticulous work being done by producers in Colombia to refine the potential of traditional varietals.
