A fully washed Caturra from Torque with a more developed roast, heavier body, and balanced acidity, featuring notes of malt chocolate, red apple, and toffee.
San Augustine is a fully washed microlot sourced from Jhoan Vergara and Nestor Lasso in Huila, Colombia. Together, they lead Peñas Blancas, a centralized post-harvest hub where small-scale farmers can access world-class processing techniques.
Torque extends the roast development to build a heavier, more viscous body while preserving the coffee’s balanced acidity and complexity. The cup opens with malt balls and chocolate bars, followed by juicy red apple and toffee, with milk chocolate, caramel, and a light citrus lift underneath.
🌎 Origin: Huila, Colombia
⚗️ Process: Washed
🔬 Variety: Caturra
🔥 Roast: Medium Plus
Note: Torque’s coffees don’t need a ton of rest – the roast profile is structured around the Maillard phase for better sugar development. In general, these coffees are at their best 7–25 days off roast. For filter, 3–5 days off roast is great; for espresso, 10–20 days off roast is preferred.
