Context
Produced by the renowned La Esperanza estate, this Colombia La Esperanza selection showcases the meticulous standards associated with high-quality Colombia coffee production. As a washed-process coffee, it highlights the inherent characteristics of the bean, as the processing methods remove the fruit pulp before drying to emphasize clarity and acidity. Roasted by Kickapoo Coffee, this lot presents a nuanced profile featuring notes of lemon wafer, gyokuro, and caramel.
When evaluating such distinct profiles, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify the interplay between the delicate, tea-like qualities of gyokuro and the deeper, sugary sweetness of caramel. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, bright profiles, the specific expression of this lot reflects the unique terroir and careful post-harvest handling practiced at La Esperanza. This coffee serves as an excellent example of how traditional processing techniques can elevate a cup’s complexity.
