From the roaster

“A lovely, classic washed coffee from Colombia. A complete crowd pleaser which works great in all brew methods. ”

In the cup, the acidity reminds us of red apples, crisp but gentle. There’s also some orange in there, some sticky date sweetness, a little hazelnut and a smooth chocolate finish. 

Switch to espresso however, and you’ll find a whole new character revealed, especially when you add milk. Nougat comes to mind, subtle roasted macadamia and a lovley comforting maltiness. In a word? Maltesers. 

This is all day, easy drinking coffee that keeps us coming back for more. Enjoy.

Context

Sourced from Colombia, El Eden represents a classic expression of the region’s high-quality output. This lot is prepared using the washed process, a technique typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers often achieve a clean, consistent profile that allows the underlying terroir to shine.

Roasted by Foundry Coffee Roasters, this coffee presents a complex array of flavors ranging from bright red apple and orange to deeper, confectionary notes like sticky date, chocolate, and nougat. The inclusion of maltiness and roasted macadamia suggests a comforting, rounded body that pairs well with the sweetness of Maltesers. When evaluating these specific characteristics, drinkers may find it helpful to consult the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between the fruit-forward acidity and the rich, nutty finish found in this particular selection.
