Yellow Tropical Fruit, Candied Strawberry & Hops
Our first coffee from José Peña continues our exploration of Urrao and the Chiroso variety. This region and variety continue to shift the conversation around quality and the diversity of flavor profiles within Colombian coffee. In the cup we find yellow tropical fruit, candied strawberry, and hops.
We have been working on a project in Urrao for several years now. Each year, the cupping table brings coffees from producers new to the project—an ongoing reminder of how much potential this region holds and how deeply this program motivates the producers who are a part of it. This is the first year we have tasted coffee from José Peña's farm, and the quality is exceptional.
Processing: Hand-picked at peak ripeness. Floated to further remove defects. Held in-cherry overnight. De-pulped. Dry-fermented for 36 hours. Washed. Dried on raised beds until moisture content reaches 10.5%.

Nice experience in the process; the seller is very helpful and responsive as well
The aroma opened with very prominent honey notes, which were quite inviting. As an espresso, the chocolate tones and sweetness came through pretty strongly, leaning more toward the sweet side than bitter, which is exactly what i wanted.
