La Valentina CW Brew Guide

We are excited to share this Catuai from our oldest partner, the Osorio brothers. Grown at 1650 meters above sea level (masl), this washed coffee has a really sweet, fruity profile. From the sweet citrusy aroma to the vibrant pomelo notes that cool into hints of bergamot, we've really enjoyed the clean cups that we've brewed with this.

If the brew takes longer than 2:40, adjust for a coarser grind size;

As you get used to brewing your coffee, adjust the parameters to see how you can pull out the flavours that you love about it. Aim for a Bettr brew each day!
