Colombia - Light Roast

This bright, versatile light roast comes from the heart of Colombia's renowned Huila region, where smallholder farmers cultivate Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia varietals between 1,200 and 2,000 meters above sea level. Roasted by Portland's Good Folks Coffee, this fully washed coffee delivers remarkable clarity and sweetness—a testament to both meticulous processing and thoughtful roasting that preserves the bean's inherent character. Tasting NotesExpect layers of milk chocolate richness balanced by vibrant cherry brightness, with delicate floral aromatics that lift each sip. The body is clean and medium-weight, with a lively acidity that never overwhelms—think crisp apple or citrus zest. The finish lingers with sweet, honeyed notes that invite the next sip. This is coffee that rewards attention but never demands it, approachable enough for everyday drinking yet complex enough to explore. Brew MethodsThis light roast truly shines in pour over methods like V60 or Chemex, where its floral notes and bright acidity can express themselves fully. It also makes an exceptional cup in an automatic drip brewer or AeroPress. For espresso enthusiasts willing to experiment, it pulls a fruit-forward shot with sparkling acidity—though we recommend dialing in carefully with a quality grinder. French press works beautifully too, producing a fuller-bodied cup that emphasizes the chocolate and cherry characteristics.
