Fellow's Take on Heart Roasters Colombia Javier Omar de la Rosa | Brew Recipe

Here's how we brewed this beautiful washed coffee grown high in Colombia’s Nariño region by an award-winning producer and roasted in Portland by Heart.

Portland’s Heart Coffee Roasters are known for their unwavering focus on clarity, balance, and origin expression, and they roast each coffee for maximum sweetness. They’ve personally visited Javier’s farm where the high altitude creates incredible growing conditions. We tasted blackberry, honey sweetness, and a soft elderflower lift.
