From the roaster

Another dry process coffee from Colombia that should satiate the crowd that likes the process driven coffees but wants more "coffee" in it than ethiopia can produce. See less tea like. A heftier mouthfeel alongside those fruity (and even a bit funky?) taste notes with a very solid milk chocolate backdrop. You'd be an idiot to not try this as espresso and give this a whirl as pour over and drip too of course.

Context

This Colombia Castillo Natural, offered by Royal Mile Coffee, highlights the distinct character of the Castillo varietal when subjected to natural processing. While Colombia is traditionally recognized for washed coffees that emphasize bright acidity and clean profiles, natural-processed coffees often undergo a longer drying period with the fruit intact, which can contribute to a heavier body and more pronounced sweetness.

In this specific lot, the roaster identifies a profile defined by fruity and funky characteristics balanced by milk chocolate. These descriptors often align with the complex, fermented notes frequently found in natural-processed beans. To better understand how these specific attributes fit into the broader spectrum of coffee quality and sensory evaluation, tasters may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel. This coffee serves as an excellent example of how processing choices can significantly influence the final cup, transforming the inherent traits of the Castillo plant into a unique, expressive experience.
