By utilizing a washed process, the producer emphasizes the inherent clarity and brightness of the beans, resulting in a profile defined by the roaster, The Barn, as having notes of clementine and brown sugar.

While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean acidity and balanced sweetness, the specific character of a cup is heavily influenced by the unique microclimate of Colombia · Armenia, Quindio.
