El Obraje

A coffee that reflects the high elevations of Tangua and Pablo Guerrero's continued work at Hacienda El Obraje: orchard fruit & cocoa.

Produced by Pablo Guerrero in the Tangua region, El Obraje represents a distinct expression of Colombian coffee cultivation. When evaluating such selections, roasters like Obadiah Coffee often focus on highlighting the inherent characteristics of the harvest, which in this instance present as a balance of orchard fruit and cocoa.

Understanding these profiles is a foundational step in developing one’s palate. While specific notes provide a snapshot of a particular lot, they are best interpreted through the broader lens of sensory analysis. For those looking to refine their ability to identify these nuances, consulting a flavor wheel can be an invaluable exercise. By categorizing sensations—such as distinguishing between stone fruits and pomaceous orchard fruits—drinkers can better articulate the complexity found in high-quality beans. This approach transforms a simple cup into a structured exploration of origin and craft, allowing the unique qualities of Guerrero’s work to shine through with greater clarity.
