Produced by Jhoan Vergara at La Ardilla, this field blend represents the meticulous agricultural standards found in Acevedo, Huila. Grown at an elevation of 1780-1800 masl, the coffee undergoes an anaerobic washed process, a technique that often influences the final cup profile by enhancing acidity and clarity. As offered by Ozo Coffee, this selection highlights the distinct character of the region, presenting a sensory experience defined by notes of peach, candied ginger, and lemongrass.

When exploring coffees processed through anaerobic fermentation, drinkers may notice a heightened intensity in aromatics and a more complex structure compared to traditional washing methods. To better understand how these specific descriptors align with broader sensory categories, you can consult the flavor wheel. This lot serves as a compelling example of how careful post-harvest handling can elevate the inherent qualities of a Colombian field blend, resulting in a vibrant and nuanced cup.
