Colombian WP Decaf

Sweet Maria's Coffee

This Colombian lot did not have a particular pedigree: it just happened to be very nice in the cup! It was a Huila coffee of Excelso grade (read our note on the Colombia page about bean-size grading … it means little). It is from the Huila region and was offered by a very good exporter (one I visited in Colombia recently in fact). They have had very nice coffees in the past, as you might remember the Huila Valencia in our reviews of some of the non-farm-specific ltos we have had. This Huila coffee had a nice solid Colombian character, a nice, thick cup with good intensity in the darker roasts. More importantly, it still has that character after going through the Water Process decaffeination! The cup is medium bodied, and I prefer it brewed just a bit strong which will heighten this a bit. It has a nice balance between the acidity, a modicum of fruitiness and a mild sweetness. For me , the best cup was a bit darker in the roast, were the intensity was better but the sweetness was retained. I liked this coffee best at Full City +, almost light Vienna roast, a few seconds into 2nd crack.
