Colombia Antioquia Supremo

Colombia is making great strides in traceability, quality, and responsible farming. This lot comes from the Antioquia region grown on Finca Vuelta Bonita ("the farm returns something beautiful") They have separated their farm by varietals, and this is the Caturra varietal which they grow on the highest altitude portion of their farm and pay the greatest attention to the quality. This Colombia really makes me happy because of its sweetness and orange undertone. Colombia generally sorts their coffee by bean size, and Supremo are the large 17 and 18 size beans. Antioquia coffees that we have carried before (Santa Barbara Estate, for example) always sell really well for us because of how traditional of a mug of coffee they are and how easy they are to roast. It's hard to write up much about them because they just taste the way you expect coffee to taste like! 

My favorite roast of this is just at verge of 2nd cracks, not quite yet there. It's a smooth full flavored coffee, with thick satisfying body, undertones of orange, and a honey sweetness. All the traditional, normal body, acidity, and taste that you expect in a Colombian, but subtleties of complexity and personality that make it really stand out. If in doubt as to when to let the beans dump, lean towards a slightly lighter roast as opposed to a slightly darker one, to fully enjoy the sweet orange notes. I know for sure we have some customers who roast this coffee dark all day long and love it, so it's just your personal preference.
