Following Colombia's fine tradition, Cauca coffee is hand-picked and washed processed. What is more, while many coffee-producing regions are replacing old varieties with new ones to pursue better disease resistance and higher yields, the Cauca region is rare in being predominantly planted with Caturra, along with Typica and Bourbon heirloom varieties.

The main flavor characteristics of Cauca coffee stand out in wonderful acidity and elegant sweetness, combined with Colombia's typical mild mouthfeel, making coffee from this region highly sought after by buyers. High-quality Cauca coffee typically shows rich floral notes, high acidity, pleasant sweetness, a medium body, and is clean, mild, and well balanced.

Origin Introduction

Cauca Department, named after the Cauca River, is located in southwestern Colombia. Along with Narino Department and Huila Department, it is one of Colombia's important premium coffee-producing regions.

Cauca Department is a Colombian coffee origin certified region, with an average altitude of 1,758 meters and a maximum altitude of up to 2,100 meters. The region's topography, precipitation, temperature, and volcanic soil provide suitable conditions for coffee cultivation.

The most significant climatic difference between Cauca and other producing regions is probably the relatively large temperature variation. The average nighttime temperature is 11°C, while the daytime average is 18°C. This day-night temperature difference is an important factor in creating high-quality coffee. The low nighttime temperatures and relatively higher altitude slow the coffee's growth rhythm, allowing the seeds and beans to more fully absorb nutrients from the cherries, which also contributes to Cauca coffee's better acidity and its acclaimed special sweetness.

Brewing Method

Pour-over Colombian coffee. Use 15g of coffee, ground to medium (using a Fuji mountain grinder with ghost-tooth burrs #4), V60 dripper, water temperature 88-89°C. First pour 30g of water for a 27-second bloom, then pour to 105g and pause. Wait until the water level drops to half before continuing to pour slowly until reaching 225g. Avoid the tail end. Water-to-coffee ratio is 1:15, extraction time 2:00.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Cauca's balance of bright acidity, elegant sweetness, and a mild, clean body is well captured by FrontStreet Colombia Huila. Huila is the country's most famous specialty region, with growing altitudes above 1500 meters and mountains all around, and FrontStreet roasts it medium-dark to bring out dark chocolate, sweet nutty notes, moderate oil, and a full body that works for pour-over, French press, moka pot, and espresso.

If you would like a bolder, more modern Colombian coffee, FrontStreet Colombia Finca La Divisa Papayo uses an anaerobic natural process, and the oxygen-free fermentation develops extra tropical fruit aroma. Medium-light roasted, it brews with complex passion fruit, grape, apricot, and dried-fruit notes in pour-over, cold brew, drip bags, or moka pot.

And for a creamy, full-bodied espresso built on Colombian sweetness, FrontStreet Premium Espresso Blend combines Brazil's nuttiness with Colombia's dark chocolate bittersweetness and pulls with fine golden crema, making a rich, smooth latte that is especially friendly to beginners.
