"Colombia is one of my favorite origins due to the overwhelming bounty of cup profiles found there, exemplified by these lots from the Narino and Cauca regions. In particular, the fruit-forward and punchy Piendamo plays well with the structured and smooth Buesaco for a classic Bangarang profile." - Marty Lopes, Roaster
