A great washed coffee from Colombia is one of
three of our menu’s constant staples. This
offering is always a workhorse, which makes the
purchasing of it high stakes. Not only does it
need to have a clean and clear acidity; that
acidity must be balanced with a good amount of
sweetness, underlaid with a pronounced body
and finish. This is because it needs to be able to
stand alone as a good filter option, while also
providing a balanced je ne sais quois to espresso
blends. Putting together a great espresso blend
is no easy feat, given that the margin of error is
so low with the intense pressure the coffee is put
through while it’s being extracted.
This lot comes from the El Faro Association and
was sourced through Equation Coffee, who
provided the last two versions of this offering in
previous harvest cycles. We feel lucky to have
secured this coffee given the massive increases to
the C-market in the last year.
