Colombia Fondo Paez – Washed, American
Fair Trade / Organic • Cauca • 1500-2350 meters
Flavor Notes: Green Apple, Dark Caramel
A barista favorite at The Coffee Exchange and consistent winner of cupping competitions, Fondo Paez is one of our most popular offerings. Cultivated by the largest indigenous group of coffee farmers in Colombia, the Paez (meaning the people), this lot is harvested in the remote, southwest highlands of the Department of Cauca. Uniquely developed by Colombians to be disease resistant against La Roya, this coffee is partly of the Castillo varietal.
American Roast: Our lightest roast, characterized by a dry surface, leading to a light body and a bright, piquant flavor
Full City Roast: A medium/light roast, slightly darker than our American, has a rich, sweet, full-body creating a complex cup
Vienna Roast: A medium/dark roast that brings the ambrosial coffee oils to the surface and brews a savory, pleasantly bittersweet cup
French Roast: A classic dark roast that results in a dark, oily bean with a bold flavor and heady aroma
Espresso Roast: As dark as it gets. Not actually recommended for brewing espresso, this roast is in pursuit of a densely redolent espresso flavor, without the espresso extraction process
