At the auction, we were ecstatic with our bid on the number 8 winning micro-lot bringing home with us an exceptional coffee, Benito Rosero from Finca El Pino in El Tambo.
Benito Rosero's winning coffee holds the traditional cup profile of Cauca coffees. Its proximity to the equator and the regions stable seasons and terroir makes for a high acidity, medium body and caramel like profile. Rosero's coffee is very complex, holding delicate floral notes with a sweet citric aftertaste. Flavours of cane sugar, rose and poached pear are clear with subtleties of lime, jasmine and honey coming through.
