The Full Story
Chris, our head roaster, has pulled out the super sweetness in this coffee to maximise the supreme terroir of the beauty that is the Cauca. Rich toffee sweetness pervades the cup with stunning overtones of tangy mandarin. The texture is almost like toasting marshmallows gently over the fire. The texture is reminiscent of thick, chewy Dundee marmalade and bursting with sweet candy cane and Seville oranges. A cracker. A Wee Cracker. Made for Crimbo.
Coffees from Cauca benefit from high elevation, cool nights, good varieties, and intentional husbandry. We look for lots that have tangy acidity and a balance of sweetness, with a backbone of sweetness. This supreme lot of coffee absolutely represents that.
