Everything Else
In all honesty, we've tended to steer clear of the Castillo variety in the past. I absolutely support the need to develop more ideas resistant, higher yielding varietals which bring with them obvious benefits and safeguards for farmers. It's just that they don't often taste all that great - to me at least.
When one of our importers told me that this coffee was different, I was intrigued.
In the cup, you can expect what is in many ways a classic, Colombian comfort coffee. That orange acidity is there for sure, along with oodles of brown sugar sweetness and a smooth, creamy butterscotch finish.
That characteristic Castillo bitterness that can be unpleasant on the finish, is much better in this coffee, adding just a slight bite at the finish. It makes the coffee perfect for espresso based drinks, particularly when adding milk. This is actually quite simple coffee, in the best way. Everything hold together well and it's easy to brew. One of those coffees you can drink all day long and it'll always put a smile on your face. Check it out here.
