Context

OR Coffee Roasters presents this Colombia El Credo as a semi-washed coffee from Colombia. The semi-washed process—also called pulped natural—sits between traditional washed and natural methods, typically removing the fruit skin while fermenting and drying the bean in its remaining mucilage. This hybrid approach often produces coffees with balanced sweetness and body, distinct from the heavier fruit profiles of fully natural coffees.

Colombia remains a cornerstone origin for specialty coffee, and this lot reflects that tradition. Whether you're exploring the nuances of different processing methods or discovering how they shape flavor, the semi-washed approach offers a compelling middle ground worth experiencing. Use the flavor wheel to guide your tasting and identify the characteristics emerging in your cup.
