The Origin

The Inza coffee from Yellow Bourbon originates from the Cauca region of Colombia.

Coffee is grown on an average of 2 hectares and processed washed, in line with FNC recommendations.

Although situated in Cauca, coffee here is more in line with Huila growing patterns, and has a unique cup profile of its own.

Initial fermentation is done without water to reduce the negative impact to the environment, and the time for this coffee ranges between 16 and 18 hours.

After fermentation time, coffee is fully washed in order to remove the mucilage.

Once coffee has been washed, is dried using a mix of sunlight and silo, and during the day is stirred several times for uniform drying, so the integrity of the embryo is preserved. Most producers prefer sun – dried coffee, in patios, afican beds and marquee; a small percentage prefer drying in silos.

How We Review Coffee?

Our coffee reviews always start with an introduction to each independent coffee roaster.

At Batch, we are all about celebrating the incredibly talented roasters that we have in the UK and telling their stories. Each one roasting the coffee slightly different.

We then explore the origin of the coffee and take a look at where the coffee has been grown and the process that it has gone through once it has been picked.

Every coffee growing origin has a different set of characteristics when it comes to the final cup, whether it’s fruity and floral or chocolatey and full the origin of speciality coffee is always celebrated.

The last part of our coffee review is what we tasted in the coffee. Speciality coffee has some incredible flavour notes (more than wine), some dark and rich while others on the opposite end of the flavour spectrum are light and fruity, we try and explain what we taste in the coffee however like with many complex tasting foods or drinks it is also down to perception and personal opinion.

So if we have tasted orange zest and you get watermelon then that is brilliant and what we think speciality coffee is all about (as long as you like the coffee).

We then score the coffee on attributes like body, aroma, sweetness and flavour. Some of the coffees you may then find in our coffee club voted the best coffee subscription in the UK by the Independent.
