This coffee is a single-origin offering from Colombia, specifically from the El Placer farm at 1800 meters altitude. It is a washed, sun-dried coffee featuring the Castillo F4 and Castillo F11 varieties. The flavor profile is balanced with good acidity and body, characterized by notes of stone fruits such as plum and apricot. The roast level is light to medium.
