Context

Produced by Alirio Ortega in Colombia, this washed coffee showcases the distinct profile of the Sidra varietal. While the Sidra cultivar is often celebrated for its complex, layered acidity and refined sweetness, the specific character of a cup is heavily influenced by the producer's meticulous approach to the washed process. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers aim to highlight the inherent qualities of the bean, often resulting in a cleaner, more transparent cup profile.

Sourced and roasted by Subtext Coffee Roasters, this offering invites a deeper exploration of how regional terroir and varietal selection intersect. To better understand the nuances found in this lot, we encourage you to reference the flavor wheel as you evaluate the cup. This selection serves as a compelling example of the high-quality output currently emerging from the diverse landscapes of Colombia.
