Context
Produced by Alirio Ortega in Colombia, this lot features the Aji varietal, a unique selection that highlights the diversity of regional coffee cultivation. As a washed coffee, this selection undergoes a meticulous processing method designed to emphasize the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean, stripping away the fruit pulp before drying to ensure a clean, focused cup profile.
Offered by Subtext Coffee Roasters, this release invites drinkers to explore the nuances of specific varietals through a structured sensory experience. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their bright, crisp profiles and distinct regional character, the Aji varietal offers a compelling look at how specific genetics influence the final brew. To better understand the complex notes found in this cup, we recommend referencing the flavor wheel to help identify and articulate the specific characteristics present in this exceptional Colombian harvest.
