Salento – Colombia Specialty Coffee

Excellent grade specialty 100% Arabica whole-bean coffee from Colombia (Huila region), 1400-2000meters above sea level, in a dark roast. Available in 250g or 500g.

Colombian coffee is among the most recognizable and most dynamic in the world, with multiple growing regions whose distinct yet consistently crowd-pleasing profiles reflect the various microclimates that exist in this large country. This Gran Galope offering is originating from some smallholder farms in Colombia’s Huila region elevated 1400-2000 meters above sea level. Gran Galope lots are Excelso grade coffees (15/16 screen size).

The cup: Mild fresh pear, cooked apple, cooked orange, and dark chocolate flavors. With juicy acidity and sugary sweetness – the “vibe” and the “weight”.
Juicy acidity: like biting into a green apple – makes the flavors “pop” and feel fresh
Sugary sweetness: it’s a clean sweetness that heightens other flavors without adding its own “aroma”

Process: washed
Colombia is best-known for its Washed coffees. While the processing details might vary slightly from farm to farm or by association, generally the coffee is picked ripe and depulped the same day, then given an open-air fermentation in tanks or buckets for anywhere between 12–36 hours. The coffee is washed clean of its mucilage before being dried either on patios, in parabolic dryers, solar driers, or mechanically.
