Origin Introduction

Cauca Department, named after the Cauca River, is located in southwestern Colombia. Together with Nariño Department and Huila Department, it forms one of Colombia's important specialty coffee producing regions.

Cauca is a certified Colombian coffee origin region with an average altitude of 1,758 meters, reaching up to 2,100 meters at its highest points. The region's topography, precipitation, temperature, and volcanic soil create ideal conditions for coffee cultivation.

The most significant climatic difference between Cauca and other producing regions is likely its relatively large temperature variation. The average daily temperature is 11°C, while the daytime average reaches 18°C. This day-night temperature difference is a crucial factor in producing high-quality coffee. Lower nighttime temperatures combined with higher altitudes slow down the coffee's growth rhythm, allowing coffee seeds and beans to fully absorb nutrients from the coffee fruit. This also contributes to Cauca coffee's excellent acidity and renowned sweetness.

Pour-over Colombia

15g coffee grounds, medium grind (Fujima grinder with ghost teeth, setting 4), V60 dripper, water temperature 88-89°C. First pour with 30g of water for a 27-second bloom, then pour to 105g and pause. Wait until the water level drops to halfway before continuing to pour. Slowly pour until reaching 225g. Discard the tail section. Water-to-coffee ratio is 1:15. Extraction time: 2:00.
