Brewing Evaluation

The smells off of Colombian Peaks are pretty sweet, like light caramel and chocolate. In the mouth, it feels full and smooth. When it comes to flavor, this coffee is evenly balanced between sweetness, acidity and bitterness. The finish turns a little dry and bitter like bakers chocolate. It’s a great match for a hearty breakfast, sweet or savory.
