Description

This coffee coming from Huila, Colombia is a great installment of our beloved Modern American espresso. As always, our goal with Modern American is to source and roast a coffee that has a great body for espresso to where we can roast it lighter so that we can highlight the complex sweetness of the coffee. To accomplish this, we roast this coffee slowly to bring out the sweetness, but we don’t roast it too dark so that we don’t taste too much roastiness. Although we call it an espresso roast, this coffee is also perfect for any other brew method, especially a batch brewer.

Huila is a well known coffee growing region in Colombia and one of our favorites. The community lots in this region tend to be very diverse and also well balanced. After cupping through many samples, this one stood out the most with its great mouthfeel and fruity sweetness. It is made up of a blend of the castillo, caturra and colombia varietal. It goes through a standard washing process, where after being hand picked it is immediately depulped, washed and dried. Then sent to the local dry mill before getting ready for export.
