Colombia Caturra Alex Hernandez

Probably one of my top 5 coffees of the year. Thick body/syrupy, very fruity, vanilla, really nicely sweet.  This one will explode as any brew method.

Produced by Alex Hernandez, this Colombia Caturra Alex Hernandez selection highlights the distinct character of the Caturra varietal. Grown in the diverse landscapes of Colombia, this lot is brought to market by Royal Mile Coffee. Caturra is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety, often recognized for its high yield and adaptability, which has made it a staple for producers across Latin America.

When evaluating coffees with profiles described as fruity, vanilla, and sweet, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the specific nuances present in the cup. While flavor profiles can vary significantly based on processing methods and local microclimates, this specific offering from Alex Hernandez provides a clear expression of the work being done by dedicated producers in the region. Whether enjoyed as a pour-over or espresso, this coffee serves as a compelling example of the quality currently emerging from Colombian farms.
