Colombia - Coffee beans 100% Colombia Castillo

Cru d'Exception Coffee

250g

A coffee whose taste is inextricably linked to its origins. Welcome to La Fabrica, a Colombian farm in the Tolima region! It's here, on these high-altitude plots draped in mist and clouds, that a community of coffee growers comprising over 200 families cultivates Castillo, a variety that owes its unique characteristics to the country's particular climate. Here, each fruit is hand-picked, cherry by cherry. And cherry on top (of the coffee), a second selection is made after harvesting, to ensure that only the very best is kept! The fruit is then fermented with natural yeasts before being dried and milled.

The result of this demanding, natural method? Full-bodied, smooth and creamy flavors, with incredible complexity and fruity notes of mirabelle plum, red berries and physalis, thanks to the cherry’s sugar absorbed by the bean during all these stages. Prepare as an espresso for greater intensity, or as a filter for greater lightness, you’re the one calling the coffee shots!

Espresso machine, filter, Italian or plunger coffee maker, all methods are good for enjoying this Colombian cru d'exception. Here are our coffee-maker's tips for optimal preparation with a plunger:

17g for 250ml (about 2 tablespoons of pre-ground coffee)

Pour the coffee into the bottom of the coffee-maker.

Heat water to 90°C (or just simmering)

Make an initial 50g pour, making sure to wet all the coffee

Stir for 10 seconds to even out

After one minute of infusion, pour in the rest of the water

After 3 minutes' brewing, stir the coffee to settle the grounds to the bottom of the pot

Filter and enjoy after 4 minutes' brewing. Don't press the plunger all the way down, as this may over-extract your beverage.

Bonne dégustation !
