Columbia La Cabana

About this bean

Columbia La Cabana is a medium-light roast from gourmet cava, sourced from Colombia. It is prepared using the honey method. Honey processing leaves some of the sticky mucilage on the bean during drying, sitting between washed clarity and natural fruit intensity. Medium-light roasts keep most of the origin character while developing a little more sweetness through caramelisation. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 7 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 8.7 out of 10 across 7 ratings.
