The Roast Of Christmas Present
An exclusive Christmas coffee from Colombia
-----
A natural single origin coffee from Colombia, with taste notes of Cherry Liqueur and Dark Fruits. Grown at 1500 – 2150 M.A.S.L in the Palanadas municipality in the Department of Tolima, this Microlot consists of 100% Caturra. This variety originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil and is a natural mutation of Red Bourbon. Caturra is known for higher coffee production and much higher resistance to plant diseases when compared to a bourbon, the plant grows much smaller than most coffee trees meaning farmers can grow more of them much closer together. The coffee cherries are carefully selected by farmers for optimal ripeness; they are then sorted and placed on raised beds and sundried under temperature-controlled conditions until the ideal moisture content is achieved. The result of this careful drying is a sweet, boozy fruit forward coffee with taste notes of Cherry Liqueur and Dark Fruits.

Lewis, Senior Head Barista: This coffee excels on espresso; it really allows the boozy, sweet flavours of this coffee to shine and having the added sweetness of steamed milk is perfect. I am a sucker for a flat white so I would recommend a dairy milk flatty to anyone that is wanting to give try this Roast of Christmas present either at home or in our shops, where’s it’s on the guest grinder!
