Colombia Supremo Narino - Reserva del Patron
The Narino Reserva del Patron is back! This is another outstanding coffee from the folks at La Minita. This Supremo comes from Narino, the southernmost district of Colombia. Bright and fruity, yet very well balanced. It's "cherry-picked" (pardon the pun) from select, high-altitude plantations only. Only 6,000 bags a year are produced (out of a total Narino coffee production of over 150,000 bags). The prep is done to the highest Europrep standards. This is truly a quality coffee.
The Narino is a quintessential Colombian coffee. Excellent body, deep, rich. complex and bright. Fruity (currants and plums) overtones with a nice chocolate background, just a hint of earthiness and a long, satisfying finish. Narino coffees, over the years, have been my favorite Colombian origin, and this ranks right up there with the best of them.
