Sensory Description:

When well-dialed Casa Negra is an excellent expression of a classic Colombian terroir. It presents with a bright orange-like acidity paired with a milk-chocolatey sweetness. The body is textured and creamy, similar to hot chocolate. This coffee also has subtle notes of sweet almond like an almond pastry.

Dial Notes:

This is a rather forgiving coffee, tasting good even when slightly under- and over-extracted. However, when under-extracted, this coffee presents with little sweetness and lacks the creamy body of a well-dialed brew. If you find your brew lacks sweetness but does not have a drying aftertaste, it’s likely under-extracted. If you’re having trouble detecting any of the orange-note and the aftertaste leaves your mouth dry, it’s likely over-extracted.
