Colombia · Inside the tasting note
Citrus
Cool nights, slow maturation, and clean processing
What your palate is noticing
A familiar note.
Nothing added.
Higher elevations can preserve organic acids as cherries ripen slowly. Clean washed processing can make that brightness feel especially clear, suggesting lemon, orange, or other citrus without fruit being added.
In Colombia coffee, variety, farm conditions, harvest decisions, processing, and roast determine how strongly this association appears.
Tasting notes are sensory associations. They are not flavors added to the coffee.
Flavor changes with variety, farm, elevation, processing, roast, water, grind, and brewing method. These are common tendencies, not guarantees.
