Here's how we brewed this crowd-pleasing washed Colombia from Greenville’s Methodical Coffee.

The cherries for this lot were picked during the day and washed in the afternoon, before being decaffeinated using sugarcane-derived ethyl acetate. The result is sweet, beautifully balanced, and surprisingly complex. We tasted citrus, brown sugar, and chocolate.
