Fellow's Take on Estellar Esmeralda | Brew Recipe

Here's how we brewed this crowd-pleasing washed Colombia from the super-selective roaster Estellar.

This coffee is a beautiful easy-sipper from Colombia’s mountainous Tolima region, that Estellar founder Alejandra likes to drink every morning. We tasted brown sugar, stone fruit, and nutty almond.
