Buying Tips
Caracolillo: Spanish for peaberry — the single round bean that forms when only one seed develops in the cherry, about 5–10% of a harvest
Roasting: The uniform shape roasts evenly, usually giving fuller sweetness and body
Region: Huila, in southern Colombia, is one of the country's largest specialty-producing regions
Brewing Notes
Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, 91°C, ratio 1:15
Clever Dripper: A 2–3 minute steep gives fuller sweetness and body
