Fellow's Take on Jorge Rojas La Roca by Broadsheet Coffee Roasters

One farm, one farmer, one origin. Produced by Jorge Rojas at his certified organic La Roca Estate in Tolima, Colombia, this washed coffee undergoes an extended 48-hour wet soak fermentation before being dried in silos for five days and screen sorted for size.

Equally at home as espresso or pour-over, Broadsheet selected it for its balance of juicy lighter nuances and classic Colombian characteristics.

🌎 Origin: Tolima, Colombia

⚗️ Process: Washed, extended fermentation (48-hour)

🔬 Variety: Caturra (primarily), Castillo, Colombia

🔥 Roast: Light to Light/Medium

Note: Broadsheet suggests 1-3 weeks off roast as peak time to brew this coffee.

Start in the middle of your espresso range on your grinder, and Series 1 will tell you to go finer or coarser after your shot pulls. It is expected that you might need to adjust based on your specific variables (i.e. location, climate, water mineral content, etc.). Small adjustments go a long way!
