Traditional Washed, Castillo, Light Roaster Influence - Brilliant batch or espresso option, crowd pleaser
Another CDNT producer, this lot was all comfort flavours and very sweet - a classic example of Castillo processed well. This lot was separated out from the regional blend due to its quality, and we're releasing it as a nice easy going washed lot full of comfort flavours - and as such we're taking the roast a touch further to support the cup.
We’re tasting:
Aromas of milk chocolate, dried apple and fig jam. In the cup it's got a syrupy texture with the aromatics carrying through to the cup, joined with ripe plum, toffee apples and cranberry, alongside toasted pistachio & macademia nut. We're finding a little of the traditional Castillo cup character but presenting as fig leaf - hints of coconut, vanilla and a fresh herbality.
Anoxic Honey, Castillo/Colombia, Lightest Roaster Influence - Brilliant on batch, pourover & turbo spro
Edwin is a producer in the CDNT group, LaREB's collective of Tolima producers. We featured his coffee in the 23/24 crop cycle - after significant stumping and some issues with farm renovations, the 3 bags we purchased in that crop was his entire output of exportable coffee. We're stoked to hear from Herbert that the farm is back to productivity, and Edwin is in a good spot - he's now planting Rosado & Pacamara, and we look forward to trying them when the trees start producing!
One of the things we most enjoy about working with LaREB is the processing support they offer producers. That support, and the well calibrated lab, results in a really high quality floor from classic washed Castillos through to higher intervention anoxic processes.
We’re tasting:
Aromas of dark chocolate digestive, port wine & plum jam, in the cup it's sweet milk chocolate, cherry jam & pomegranate molasses. As it cools we're getting spiced stewed apple, pomelo, and poached pear, with a syrupy body. On cold, there's the sticky sweetness of ripe figs, plum and caramel.
Yeast inoculated Natural, Red Bourbon, Light-Medium Roaster Influence - Best brewed with espresso - funky guest option or more chunky batch.
Our FOURTH harvest purchasing yeast lots from the Kibingo washing station. We've been having a bit of run of Scenery all-stars - Kibingo Intenso Natty was in the very first version of Colourful, and was our second single origin espresso. Brilliant to bring it back.
This year's is possibly the best version we've tried yet - some previous years presented very heavy funk character, this year there's a lot more complexity and clarity to the structure, a great example of Lalcafé yeast fermentation.
We're tasting:
Super fun aromatics - raspberry kombucha, green banana & cacao nib. In the cup it's bright, juicy & tropical - we're getting passionfruit, fruit pastilles, pineapple, Riesling wine, with some of that classic Burundi baking spice. As it cools, we get orange glucose sweets, watermelon gummies & milk chocolate.
In milk - passionfruit, pineapple, & banana foam sweets.
Traditional Washed, Red Bourbon, Lightest Roaster Influence -Best for Filter/Pourover/Turbo Espresso
Our fourth harvest featuring coffee from the smallholders of Gikungere hill, every year a stunner. Long miles do great work
We’re tasting: Super bright citrus zest, chamomile and date aromatics. In the cup we're getting sweet meyer lemon, white grape, dried apricots, buttery shortbread sweetness and vanilla chantilly cream; with a complex tea note that reminds us of light oolong.
