Details:
In January 2019 Todd Johnson (co-founder at W&J) travelled in Antioquia, visiting many farms, mills and co-ops. The flavour profile of the area is driven by bright berry flavours often with deep dark stone fruit flavours as well, like biting into a ripe syrupy and sticky plum. Out of thirty plus coffees (in a cupping) one micro lot from farmer Pablo Emilio Montoya in Urrao really popped. It was Todd’s favourite and the favourite in the room. Its unrivalled cup clarity and vibrant berry fruit flavour is ridiculously delicious. Urrao’s incredibly high elevations and cooler microclimate seem to lend themselves perfectly to the production of stunning coffee.
