This variety is usually simple to roast. To enhance its acidity, start aggressively, but if you need to mute the acidity, take a slower, more gentle approach. Colombians are usually dense and resistant to high heat, so donโt stress that youโve used too much gas. As many other high altitude coffees are usually very fragile around the first crack, keep in mind that it can crash easily.
Please note this is a general, not a specific tip. Each coffee tends to behave a bit (or a lot!) differently and should be approached individually. We highly recommend working with a colorimeter machine. Your local data, depending on your grinder, grind size and the way you prepare coffee surface for measurements, will be the most precise tool for your QC routine aside from cupping.

Coffee production on these farms is built around careful, year round management that keeps trees healthy and productive. Coffee trees are regularly weeded and pruned to improve airflow, sunlight exposure, and harvesting efficiency. Many producers also
grow plantains, avocados, citrus, corn, and cassava alongside coffee, providing natural shade, protecting the soil, and creating additional sources of income.
