Context
Produced by Elias and Shady Bayter in the Tolima region of Colombia · Tolima, this El Vergel lot showcases the classic profile of the Caturra varietal. Grown at 1450 masl, the coffee is prepared using the washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean by removing the fruit pulp before drying.
Sourced by The Barn, this selection reflects the meticulous cultivation standards maintained at the farm. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, vibrant profiles, the specific nuances of any cup can be better understood by referencing the flavor wheel to identify individual aromatic compounds.
