This coffee is an incredible example of the high end coffees coming out of Colombia over the past few years. Definitely a coffee for anyone feeling adventurous. Profile wise it's a big heavy body with a fudge sweetness. We taste lots of toffee and vanilla with a hint of milk chocolate. Can work well on espresso but this is a coffee that really shines on filter
