La Colmena comes from the San Agustin region of Huila, Colombia, one of the country's noteworthy coffee-growing areas. North Star Coffee Roasters has brought this washed-process Colombian coffee to their lineup with a profile centered on stone fruit and green apple brightness, balanced by caramel sweetness. The washed preparation typically allows origin character and acidity to shine through clearly, and this lot reflects that clarity through its layered fruit notes. The combination of stone fruit and green apple suggests a coffee with both depth and refreshing brightness—qualities that make it suitable for filter brewing methods that highlight such complexity.
