About coffee from Colombia
Colombia is one of the world's largest arabica producers, and many regions get two harvests a year. High-altitude areas like Huila and Nariño are known for sweet, balanced coffees with caramel and fruit, and Colombian producers are behind many of today's experimental fermentations.
What the process means
Thermal shock is an experimental method where the coffee is soaked in hot and then cold water during processing to change how it ferments. It's used to push sweet, intense, fruity flavors.
