Colombia Organic Pitalito Asobombo

For the first time ever though, I’ve found a really high quality Colombian.  Here it is. Independently tested by 3 certified SCAA cuppers, this one cups higher than many Ethiopian coffees, and Ethiopia is known as having the best coffee in the world. It’s grown at very high elevation, 1,600 – 2000M above sea level, which contributes to its flavor profile. The cultivars are great - Caturra (a mutation of Bourbon), Pink Bourbon (a delicious mutation of Bourbon), Colombia (a cross between Caturra and Typica, the latter of which is the original Ethiopian bean – an ancient cultivar), and Geisha – say no more.

Normally when coffees rate this high, they are primarily fruity or floral.  Not this one. These are washed process, rich bodied, and the broker cites flavors of  Bakers Chocolate, Caramel, Cherry, and Dried Fruit.  This the best coffee option for people who like “chocolatey” tasting coffee.  Best in medium roast.
