Colombia Huila

The Huila region is generally my favorite coffee growing region. It sits in the south center of the country, enjoys altitudes of 4500-5000 feet, and is known for coffees with more of a cocoa and sweet stone-fruit taste than those in the northern regions of Colombia.

This particular lot is not complex, not defective. It is 100% coffee flavored with nothing extra to make it stand out, but nothing to make you not like it. At a medium roast or even a dark roast, it's largely just "normal coffee" with lots of body and cocoa notes but nothing weird.

I bought it because of the price point. Sometimes you just need a coffee that tastes like coffee that wasn't too expensive.

Full City+, a few second into 2nd cracks, this is my sweet spot for this one.

French Roast -- 60 seconds of 2nd cracks -- big bold flavor without ashy tastes or too much bitterness. Nothing special here, but a little cream pulls out caramel flavor and it works.
