Context
The Colombia Alfredo Castaño, sourced from producer Alfredo Castaño Torres, represents a classic expression of the Colombia origin. Roasted by Glen Lyon Coffee, this lot undergoes a washed process, a method typically favored for highlighting the inherent acidity and clean, vibrant profile of the bean. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers can achieve a consistent clarity that allows the specific terroir of the region to shine through in the cup.
When evaluating a coffee of this profile, it is helpful to consult the flavor wheel to identify the nuanced characteristics that emerge during the brewing process. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their bright, crisp qualities, the final experience is always a reflection of the meticulous care taken by the producer during harvest and processing. This offering provides a focused look at the work of Alfredo Castaño Torres within the broader landscape of Colombian coffee production.
