CGLE Hybrid 17 Washed '22

About This Coffee

This coffee is a Caturra Gesha hybrid from Colombia, cultivated at CGLE's Potosi farm in the Nariño region at 1,860 meters altitude. The 2022 lot underwent a controlled 24-hour natural fermentation before being fully washed. It presents a notably complex and layered flavor profile, evolving from a clean, crisp character to a robust, full-bodied cup with nuanced tasting notes.
