Friedhats

Context

This washed Colombia from CGLE arrives via Friedhats, a roaster known for highlighting distinctive character in their selections. Washed processing typically emphasizes clarity and acidity, though this lot's "funky" profile suggests the roaster has coaxed something unconventional from the beans—likely fermentation-forward notes that diverge from the cleaner expression washed coffees often deliver. Colombia remains a cornerstone origin for specialty coffee, and CGLE's designation indicates a specific lot worthy of selection. The funky descriptor invites exploration via the flavor wheel to map exactly which fermented, earthy, or unconventional tones emerge in the cup. This is a coffee for drinkers curious about how processing decisions and roaster intention can push washed lots toward more adventurous territory.
