This is another fun one from @blackmassroasters .
Gilded Cage is a Lactic Washed Typica from Colombia, produced by Oscar Hernandez on the family owned Finca Los Nogales farm in the Huila department.
The larger story behind this farm and coffee is a great one, and you should head to the Black Mass site and read it. It’s a great story of innovation, sustainability, organics, and a care for the environment and the coffee.
The coffee has an amazing process from behind handpicked, thermal shocked, and a long fermentation.
Like most of Black Mass’s coffees it’s super funky with a fairly well developed roast. Probably too developed for some people’s tastes, but it’s a signature that I’ve said before I think I could pick blindfolded now.
This has a really funky and fruity hit of passionfruit and yoghurt. The other notes written on the bag are banana and candied lemon are there too, especially as an aftertaste as the coffee cools down.
I’m enjoying this one a lot.
