Description

raw green bean Green coffee is raw Roast prior to consumption

The quintessential Colombian coffee, La Minita’s Reserva del Patrón hails from Nariño, the southernmost district of Colombia. This coffee is “cherry-picked” (pardon the pun) from specific growing conditions exclusively in high-altitude plantations––if coffee does not exceed 1600 meters, it is not considered for export. Because of this process, only 6,000 of La Minita’s 150,000 bags are Reserva del Patrón and make it to the highest Europrep standards produced yearly. If you have loved Don Enrique, del Patron is great replacement!

Cupping Notes: Bright, fruity, and well balanced. 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.

This coffee is so good. I can’t believe it’s not already sold out. Just bought another ten pounds. I consistently got plum, an herbal candy I can’t quite name, and chocolate at city plus.

We were looking for a replacement for Don Enrique since it is discontinued. We took the advice of Coffee Bean Corral and ordered Patron. I roasted it just past first crack. It is really a very smooth and tasty morning cup of coffee. We found our replacement for Don Enrique.

I bought this after finding out that Don Enrique Reserve was no longer in operation. I love this coffee. My first roast was a dark roast. The result was a strong flavor with a bitter edge to it that required copious amounts of honey and heavy cream to get under control. I roasted my second batch to medium. It yielded a full-bodied cup, rich and smooth with notes of chocolate, and no bitterness. I highly recommend this bean.

Good easy go to cup of joe. I roast it to a positive city + and it makes a good robust cup. A lighter roast is acidic and I did not appreciate it as it cooled.

What a great coffee this is. You would have to blend 3 types of coffee to get something this good. Rich, smooth, sweet, fruity and chocolaty and so savory. The best at medium++. Xlnt..

This is a wonderful Columbian coffee. I’ve ordered it several times—smooth with chocolate tones. This time I got 50 pounds! For me, it’s best with a dark medium roast. A lighter roast doesn’t taste as good; it’s grassy. Patrón makes a marvelous strong brew without removing your enamel. My roaster is a skillet/stirrer model with a clear lid and a thermostat. I roast a single layer of beans until right at second crack. Don’t roast them black! Charcoal is not a good flavor profile.

I love most all the beans at CBC. Such a great place to source your green unroasted coffee. This one is no different. I’ve had these beans since last spring and they still roast up very nicely using my SR800 with extension tube at a specific profile for 11-1/2 minutes just a way into second crack. Rested additional days in vacuum bags after a 3 day setup. Such a delicious coffee. A favorite Colombian I look forward to each morning.

I can taste the plum 18 to 24 hours after the coffee airs out. After 36 to 48 the coffee has more of a tang to it. I never had currants so it could be a currants taste flavor. I finding with three Columbian coffees i bought the coffee dances on the taste buds after 36 to 48 hours of airing out. The Columbian coffees fascinate me as far as flavor. Why the one is so expensive i do know but the others are a fair price and well worth buying.

Roasted past FC to a darker medium roast. A very well balanced cup, smooth complex with a chocolate finish. The beans quality was excellent, very even roast. With so many choices of great beans from CBC is hard to choose a favorite.

This coffee roasted to true medium brown is not good flavor when eaten with sweet food, but is a good sipping coffee. It is smooth, complex, with a slight chocolate finish.
