Description

In this washed process lot from Las Mercedes, looks forward to a vibrant fruit acidity like grapefruit and berries balanced by deeper notes of fruit jam and honey.

SOURCING STORY

For over 27 years on his farm, Edgar Eladio Ossa has been attentively producing high quality coffees with the help of his son, Alejandro. They are both working with a brix meter to come up with a series of recipes to guide their fermentation process, a tool commonly used in the wine industry to measure sugar density. Most producers rely on a set number of hours for fermentation, or something as simple as fermenting overnight and feeling the parchment to ensure all the mucilage is gone. With a brix measurement right after depulping, and at 6 hour intervals, Edgar and Alejandro can catch the ideal moment to wash the coffee, mitigating over-ferment. His coffees consistently amazed us with clarity, velvety and distinguished flavours and are only getting better over time! Edgar is always providing us with exciting, unique Colombian coffee.

My favourite light-roast!

Out of all the single-origin light roasts I've tried, the Colombia-Las Mercedes is the perfect balance of acidity and smoothness that I look for in my coffee. I'm hoping this one sticks around a long time - I just got a 5lb bag and it's easily become my daily drink.
