— Right Side Coffee

Context

The Hnos. Contreras Honey Glory Espresso, roasted by Right Side Coffee, showcases the potential of the Castillo varietal when cultivated by the Hnos. Contreras family in Colombia. By utilizing the honey process—a method where some or all of the fruit mucilage remains on the bean during drying—this lot achieves a distinct profile characterized by notes of coconut milk, pineapple, and mango.

While the Castillo varietal is often recognized for its resilience and productivity, its performance in the cup can vary significantly based on regional terroir and post-harvest techniques. Honey-processed coffees frequently bridge the gap between washed and natural profiles, often offering a syrupy body and enhanced sweetness that can be mapped using a standard flavor wheel. This specific offering highlights how careful attention to processing can elevate the sensory experience of a well-known varietal, resulting in a vibrant and fruit-forward espresso.
