EXP018: PINK LEMONADE

WHY THIS COFFEE?

This coffee reminds us of Edwin Norena's raspberry coferment (EXP011)—but less extreme. We sampled it and loved it because it hits our flavor profile just right: sweet, fruity, and noticeably and unapologetically flavorful. Although it's not a coferment, the coffee highlights that Colombian producers can achieve a similar profile without added steps. We think that's something people are looking for in April 2026.

BREW GUIDE

How long to rest: This one is light at an Agtron of 90. Let it rest two weeks.

We taste: Think lemonade with a splash of raspberry: or, pink lemonade. We get a lovely, full body and sweetness followed by a citric acidity and tartness that rounds out the cup.

We like it as: A conical brewer to elevate those fruity, floral notes with a lower temperature (~202F) and less agitation—use a drip assist if you've got it—to buffer the extraction. We liked 1:16 and 1:17 but found 1:15 too punchy and funky.
